You’re correct but it’s the sting that lingers and can have a long term effect.
Most of the woke can’t be reached. They have a shield from dealing with their rationalizations. But others can be led to a red pill they will later take on their own.
I knew a lawyer who went from decade long Rat activist to Trump supporter in one election cycle.
From literally crying on Election Night 2016 to calling me months later saying, “Am I the only one noticing....”
And I would laugh saying, “Nope...”
This same lawyer last year invited me to attend a Trump Rally.
God can change hearts and open eyes. We can only stand up and hope to be His instruments.
