The proverbial boy who cried wolf never believed there was really a wolf.
The current “boys who cry wolf” believe with all their being that there is a wolf, until they shift 180 degrees and believe there cannot be a wolf and anyone who says otherwise is an anti-science insurrectionist. They do this dance, constantly shifting back and forth, believing they do so out of virtuosity, entirely unaware that they are the bees whose brains have been overtaken by parasites.
So... the analogy doesn’t quite fit.
I think it fits perfectly. Yes, the "useful idiots" who follow the 'rat party believe the fake science. But they are led by cynical controllers who believe in nothing but power. The "mask Karens" you see are true believers. The news people and manipulators, like Soros, Gates, MSM and the 'rat party leadership only believe in achieving and maintaining power by any means necessary.
