Definitely a hard pill to swallow. We're just normal people trying to live fulfilling lives with family and friends we love. Passing on wisdom and a moral fabric to our children.

So it's hard to imagine there really are such vile, evil people. Sure, we see serial killer shows and movies. They're always alone, and usually kill on a one by one basis.

Never does it occur to people that there are people just as sociopathic and psychotic out there who work together to destroy entire societies.

When you swallow that pill suddenly it's not so outrageous to believe Covid is a hoax, germ theory is bunk, certain higher-ups literally feast on children, mass shooters are groomed, etc.
