Yes, but actually no.

Children, regardless of "magical thinking" naturally do not possess cognitive dissonance. Cognitive dissonance is a learned skill instilled into them by other adults. Everytime a kid asks "what's wrong with daddy?" when he's lying on the floor after having too much to drink, and the housewife replies "he's just sleeping honey, now stop asking stupid questions" we gradually learn to deny our senses, critical thinking and reasoning skills. Children don't need statistics or scientific journal entries, they can sense when something is wrong. If they see one of these protests outside on the way to the grocery store with mommy they can put two and two together without having to turn on CNN. Yet full grown adults can convince themselves a new pizza parlor must be opening.

A child's mind is better at discerning nonsense from the truth than you realize. It is we who repeatedly teach them that they are wrong.

Wow that's crazy

I just uninstalled everything Proton on my PC. Wtaf.

That is beyond a dog whistle, that's a Hunger Games whistle. I'd say it's practically a threat.

We are actually living in the Rick & Morty back-to-back fascist timeline aren't we? Because I'm through being reasonable enough to give anyone the benefit of the doubt. That gave me chills.
