He's pretty busy at work so I'm trying to read them and understand. My main question is there anywhere it breaks down what all of the abbreviations and codes mean? like BO is barrack Obama I assume. but there are a lot and I'm not aware of all of them. I'd appreciate any help or guidance at this point because vie been losing hope and am really wanting to understand Q more and maybe get some hopium again and thought if I read it from beginning and truly understand it then ill feel better about what's happening right now. thank you so much if you took the time to read this and reply.

Man im sorry. Thats always frustrating when youre trying to show someone something and they get it all turned around.
Honestly though weve shared the same political views for a long time. Hes such a smart and logical person that I trust his word/opinion more than anyone else in the world. So im sure thats what helped me be open to it. Plus ive been a "conspiracy Theorist" forever. Hes usually the one to bring me back in and help me navigate the truth from the lies.
So my holdoff on Q was not being able to understand it. He helped explain how to understand and where to start, and i took off from there.
But something that he always does with new people, liberal friends, is to find something they can relate to. something that matters to them, and reel them in from that.
So for example we have a white liberal friend upset about "police brutality and totally buying into it. He asked him why he felt that way, "well because you see this and that" okay but thats what youve seen, whats been shown to you. Have you had personal experience with cops? yes. okay and were they brutal with you? No. okay so why do you just believe all cops are overly brutal if all of your experiences with them havent been so. and so on,
Or for me before becoming more conservative i was very upset with how lacking our world is with humanitarian effort. "if the rich people would just use their money they could fix this all" okay but why should rich people be responsible? well they have a lot of money. okay but did they work hard for that money? yes. okay if you worked really hard and made way more money would you want to be forced to give some of it up because you have more? well no... okay so now you get it. IF people want to help it should be their choice, not forced.
Same thing with "systemic racism" Everybody has free will, everyone has opportunies. Its YOU that has to decide what you will do. It has nothing to do with race and everything to do with how you are raised, what choices you make, and the mindset you have. you can be poor af and decide your going to do something about it, or you can be poor af and have a pity party and be the victim.
I could go on and on. but yeah we just have a lot of deep talks and he always helps ask the hard questions and when you cant answer other than what you feel off emotion or what youve been told to feel, you see how stupid it is.
I always tell him he needs a platform or do like ted talks because hes super good at talking and explaining and reading people, turning it into how to relate it to them, how to get them to understand just based off what kind of person they are, whats important to them and how he can use that to make a point.
Thanks for the response! That is such an awesome trait your husband has. I am trying to find how I can become like that. It is so difficult.
I recently graduated from a very liberal school, however I never felt comfortable with a lot of the views around me. I never spoke up though, I didn't know how to present my argument.
It was my first conversation out loud, verbally, with a friend about abortion that I began to realize how bad social media is for conversation. It was in that conversation that I actually solidified that I am pro-life, when I was on the fence before. Because I verbally walked through my thought process.
The verbal conversations I find the hardest, because those who don't welcome an open mind are the ones to spin and spin and spin things into other non-relative topics (i.e. my boyfriend going off on an immigration tangent). Your post gives me hope.
Anyways, thanks for the response and best of luck!
It really is, i feel so lucky to have him. He also reads/listens to a lot of self help, motivational, how to speak to others, leadership type of books.
Its crazy just how easy it happens when you talk it out and see why you've thought you felt a way about something and realize you don't actually believe that. I was always "you do you, I would never get an abortion but I don't want to tell someone else they cant" but then when really thinking about it and talking it over I realized I'm not okay with it, I've just been conditioned by society to think its okay as long as I don't do it, its okay for others.
anyways I hope you the best and maybe you can get to a place with the boyfriend where you can have these talks and work through why he feels that way and show him some of these issues are based off feelings you've been fed to believe rather than what you actually care about and what's a principle to you.
