Thanks for posting this and the ping.
If we try to explain this to our family members and friends, they just look at us like we are crazy.
I now longer try to win the war with family members and even close friends. I pick my battles and situations like the Dan Blather fiasco. Then, I use that grim reality for the moderates and liberals, whenever, I'm challenged re my other observations. I will say, "Remember when you said I was crazy when I said that Dan Blather and Mary Mapes lied and fabricated an attempted coup against our President? You will not be laughing when X (what we are discussing) shows me to be correct again.
Currently, I'm in that situation as family members and friends, priests and bishops are trying to tell us and me that the new head Episcopal Bishop, the new radical lib is not a moderate as we are being told. I cut short any conservations where they try to tell me that she is a moderate with, "Don't Pee on my leg and call it rain! She is as moderate as Hilliarly Clintoon is."
Unfortunately some people just refuse to wake up. If someone doesn't want to see the light of truth, it's impossible to help them. Reality will just have to hit them on the head one day. Hopefully.

I've been called a nutcase for the same reasons, GD. I saw the National Council of Churche's dedicatation to watering down the tenets of a pure church to attain the results of a one world religion. I quit the Episcopal Church years ago, and won't give a dime to the NCC!
