Speaking of "bubble of lies..."

I've lived in northern and southern states for years. Was raised (very) evangelical Christian and left that behind, yet still have family deep inside. My bubble has been thoroughly popped. Still I have to witness the descent of friends and family members into fantasy as they age and become more isolated by circumstance and their media choices. College educated people who now tell me the Earth is probably flat, 9/11 was probably an inside job, J6 was just some over eager tourists.
