Overcoming your cognitive dissonance with exposure and education is always a beautiful thing to behold. It's a hard lesson, and it will mean losing some friends and family along the way who have not taken a similar journey, but that is okay.

If you’re not from Missouri, you may not know that Eric Schmitt got his start in MAGA politics by suing public schools for mask mandates while their teachers died during a pandemic. The really strange thing? He never sued his own kids’ school for their mask mandate. He’s a piece of Schitt.
