"It is impossible to underestimate denial. Ppl have strategies to deny any & all things, no matter how credibly demonstrated those things are. But we must not overestimate denial. It belongs to us & to our collective life. It only does the work that we ask of it."
End of the Introduction...very succinct, informative laying-out of the path we're to tread together.

Richard Derus Frank wrote: "It sounds like a liberal book to explain why dissenting opinions are denials. I suggest watching 2000 mules that proves the election was fraudulent, reading Hot Talk, Cold Science that uncovers the political agenda behind the climate change lies and researching The Great Reset to understand how billionaire elites are creating a world wide utopia for themselves, relegating the remaining populace to peasantry. Since when is discussion equated to denial?"

Absolutely none of that was in my post, Frank. You've used the straw-man tool of distract and reframe.

Not very well, either. I said absolutely nothing to which your statements are addressed.
