Who is Really the Boiled Frog?

Dear Dingo:

I received a wrong number text--warning me that wearing face masks was the governments way of slowly teaching compliance, akin to "boiling a live frog". I really don't get this nut job logic. What kind of compliance education would the government be gaining from this? An evil scheme to make us all wear elf hats and clown shoes?

Answer:

Yes. There is in fact a pot of simmering frogs on the stove, but you my friend are not in it. Unfortunately, a substantial part of the Republican party is. Trump has spent years grooming (a.k.a.slowly cooking) his followers to believe any crazy thing he says. Inauguration crowds, unfair Emmy awards, where Obama was born, dead voters... He knows if you repeat a lie (illusory truth effect) it eventually seems true. Just ask Goebbels. Another one who slowly simmered the pot and boiled the 🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸 !!
