'Are we the sheep?': QAnon believers struggle to process Gavin Newsom recall election in California

[Buckeye_Democrat]

18. My past Republican coworkers OFTEN believed...

... that they were the majority, even in cases when they clearly were not!

That was 20 to 30 years ago, even before QAnon.

It was perplexing to me then, and it still is! The most likely explanation to me was that they lived extremely sheltered lives, with almost nobody except fellow Republicans in their midst.

Edit: And they tended to be the biggest loudmouths about their deluded political ideas too, usually getting responses of agreement from their fellow dummies. Meanwhile, the rest of us typically stayed quiet and rolled our eyes. So that kind of feedback might skew their impressions of their numbers too.

Edit2: And coincidentally, since the topic is the CA recall election, the ONLY time that I've ever witnessed a liberal behaving like a right-winger (around here) was during a vacation to California. The guy seated next to me on an Amtrak train was LOUDLY criticizing Republicans to me, so that everybody in our rail car could easily hear him. That has never -- NEVER -- happened in my part of Ohio, but right-wingers here will frequently behave that way. So that everyone within about 100 feet away of them can hear their BS!
