I have to make my peace with that endless cycle of
"that's crazy" to "yeah, of course, we always knew"
The overton window slowly widens, its encouraging and disheartening at the same time.
Seeing people finally agree with you, while somehow forgetting that they thought you were off your rocker when you first made the argument years or decades prior...
Being mind-pegged to the Overton be like this: Like perpetually forgetting and fabricating the moving target of The Narrative at the same time. Normies can't help gaslighting you because they're so busy gaslighting themselves.
When you get near any of their contradictions or edges, you're talking to a defense mechanism.
Whatever is necessary to justify the current propaganda so their tribe doesn't ostracize them, truth be damned.
