Is it too late? Perhaps. My biggest problem with this relative is that she is surrounded by folks just like her. They believe everything the media tells them, as if it’s the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. She says she’s too busy to go seeking out alternative viewpoints. She wants to be spoon fed with her news. She thinks they’re doing their jobs, and she doesn’t want to do it for them. So she does listen to me, but just as easily disregards it because it’s not often repeated in her world. I can show her the places I get my information from, but she won’t use those on her own. Her default is the mainstream media.
I just keep trucking along though. Maybe one day something will hit home with her how much she is lied to every day.

I keep thinking that.... unfortunately, these willfully blind people will wake up some day and realize that they’ve been lied to after decades of them voting ‘for’ the liars. My fear is that by then it will be too late. Our own collective stupidity will have destroyed us.
Prophetic words from the likes of Khrushchev...
