it’s extremely difficult to deprogram cult mind control/brainwashing. and the more people who are tangled up in it, the harder it is. short answer, no. they will not have an epiphany. we are pretty much mirroring 1930s germany. the difference here is that the state surveillance is pretty much way beyond anything even imagined in 1984 (the book or the actual year). it may well be too late.
stay safe and educate yourself on what to be prepared for
There’s a German novel called “NSA - Nationales Sicherheitsamt” (which is a literal translation of the US National Security Agency to German).
The plot is an alternative history in which the Nazis had some of today’s tech (read computers, internet, databases), although quite “ancient” and not with the full potential unlocked, that we have today. Then an analyst realizes, what one can do with this tech and that her queries endanger her friends more and more.
Yeah, but that novel assumes, that they also had internet, electronic cash, mobile phones, etc. so you get the modern tracking possibilities combined with the literal Nazis. They just weren’t really proficient in using that, but that changes through out the story.
Honest question, will they ever have an epiphany? Florida having no warnings for hurricanes seems like it’s going to be an issue that affects them.

They did have computers back then. ibm helped them right out, just like modern tech is helping the nazis now.
