I failed out of college because of my drinking. My upstate New York friends & family…. Tried to share Kennedy’s book. She hid it behind a dresser! They really think New York Times & Washington post are legitimate. I even asked about the Trusted news initiative. I got sober by 30& now am thankful I failed out after being embarrassed about it for many years and had to work my butt off at menial jobs( until I took a booster shot for work).

These people are in their 40’s 50’s & 60’s. They have Stockholm syndrome and cognitive dissonance. The brainwashing was a complete success. Thank God for my husband of 3 years & 2 online friends who are just as isolated as me.

* the ones with degrees are gone. A few manual labor friends remain intact ( they text me when they need to, the cognitive dissonance so frustrating!)
