1. I didn't quite understand how different blue vs red states were. When my daughter came from WA to AR to visit me back in February, she was shocked that masks weren't being widely warn here. When I traveled via car [my wife talked me into vacation by saying that we could take the new MX-5 for a 2,000 mile road trip] from AR to FL last late summer, masks were rarely found as I traveled through AR, MS, GA, FL. Back in the fall of 2020, the same thing when we took a 4,000 mile road trip. Masks were only worn in blue states
2. What shocks me is who is wearing masks still. It isn't middle age people and rarely older people but kids. On my short trip to the office, I will pass two schools within the first quarter mile: Arts Academy High School and a college prep school. It isn't the students of the college prep school that are still wearing masks but the arts kids.
3. Fashion changed. The office that I work at, we all wear jeans including the CEO of a 2,000 employee company. But I generally will wear a nicely pressed dress shirt. Those have pretty much disappeared in the shops.
4. My department [IT] has lost nearly 60% of our staff over the past 12 months. The vast majority of those who left [we normally get together once a month or so] work from home. Being forced to work from home those first few months opened up the floodgates to people working at home but for a company that is across the country. One of the reasons that we get together is because they have discovered that they miss human interaction.
5. Movies are just now beginning to return and it has only been in the past 4 months where theaters have been sold out. I honestly thought that would happen sooner
 
Honestly what shocks me the most is that 95+% don't even realize how badly they have been played by authorities over a flu, experimental gene therapies, stolen elections, lockdowns, mandates & the general expansion of Uniparty powers.
Many kinda know somethings going on but most won't pay attention until it's too late.
It' so obvious but they live in denial because the truth forces them to acknowledge some uncomfortable realities that desperately need to be addressed.
Sounds like a hassle to them I guess

No shock, just a sense of loss, as this once great country i swore to defend (against socialism) has turned into a 3rd world shithole. This is Joe Biden's America.

What has shocked me most is realization my fellow Americans have become better than I ever imagined them capable of LARPING the roles of bleating sheep following each other off really high cliffs with big old grins on their faces. No one batted an eye or even considered taking direct preventative action when millions of American kids were told to roll up their sleeves for experimental injections. That sort of thing.
 
What shocks me the most is how those most inclined towards calling themselves liberal were supporting the very least liberal political policies that took advantage of it.

It"s beyond me how anybody could be so stupid as to support the creation of this new undermenschen (small business owners lacking political clout) in order to enrich the globalist technocrats is beyond me.

  1. How easy it was to turn the world upside down with social media fear monger’s…
  2. How corrupt our government really is…
  3. That we are that close to the brink of losing what makes America great…
Just to name a few…

At this late hour what still makes America great is kept alive like a terrified little flame on a burnt down candlestick by a precious few Americans here and there who still believe in who we were and where we came from. At this point the slightest midnight breeze will extinguish that too. Come the coming of age of the next generation or so and all that once made America that shining beacon city on the hill will be dowsed forever by unimaginable filth. Everyone always wonders what it felt like to be a dinosaur on the day before there were no more dinosaurs; well, now we know.
 
What shocks me is that in the face of the reality that the experimental jab stops neither infection nor transmission and sports a VAERS database larger than all other vaccines combined over the last 30 years, it is still required of servicemen, federal employees, and foreigners who want enter this country (legally).

This one isn't shocking anymore, but hearing things like "I got Covid once after my first vaccine shot and then again after my second vaccine booster." Should have the room in stiches but it's normal now.

What shocked me most was the universal complete burying of China's role in this pandemic.
And I mean universal. Including European media/politicians.
It is this embedded cooperation between the media and politicians that makes you give pause and consider, some conspiracies are more than just a conspiracy
basically what i was going to say but better worded. Thanks 🍻
 
This is a thought provoking thread. I guess I am also shocked at how I view the pharma-med-gov health mob. I didn't have them on a pedestal by any means, but I didn't have the virulent hatred towards them that I have now.
It is thought provoking. Hope nobody breaks their brain cuz of it

What shocked me the most how libturds didn't even care about their own kids welfare. Beating Trump and shutting it down was all that mattered. Sick fucking bastards

It's young blacks, mostly male, wearing the masks. Here in Maryland where I am, anyway. I think it's like hoodies: they are trying to hide their identity.

I'm shocked that I can't get medical or dental treatment without "complying" with this Taliban mask command. So I won't get either, and that worries me a lot. I have to do something shameful or not get any medical treatment or get to be with my husband in the hospital.

I'm shocked that I have to assume people will behave like enemies when I go off the farm, and prep myself. Everyone hates everyone. Or at least I have to be prepared for that.

Most people where I live are behaving well and NOT wearing the hated masks. But I'm still shocked and nervous about this national calamity and how awful all the lockdowns and mask/vaccine mandates were.

Also I'm shocked how the vaccines didn't work AT ALL! And yet just to train people to comply, comply, comply like sheep they constantly still to this day carry on about them. I'm furious.
 
I was/am shocked at how easily the populace caved.
Yes, me too. I never did, so far, about the horrible masks, but I did get tricked into the vaccine, and it was wholly, totally a scam, turned out! AFTER I got vaccinated, I had a BAD four-month case of Covid so the whole thing is just a pile of lies, exactly like the flu vaccines! Pretty sad.

Never Mind Them; They Will Never Matter

Ignore the NPCs. Only those who take action count. Be a player.
