I've struggled with this big time. I have members of my core family unit that consume MSNBC and CNN like its the sweet nectar of life. All I have come up with is to listen carefully to their supplied talking points. DO NOT ESCALATE. De-Escalation is key. They are "trained" to react with vitriol and claims of racism. When this is triggered, you will not get ANY message through. Make sure you are aware of the DAILY supplied talking points that the MSM is feeding them. Be prepared to "concede" to their "point". Allow a little time to pass so that the knee-jerk anger passes. Then drop a small piece of information. Do this DAILY. It is a cumulative process. Think about how LONG they have been programmed. It took years.
Gotcha. They aren't raging liberals, but they get their news from WSJ, WashPo, and NYT. Mom has clinical TDS. I've dropped different redpills when I'm at their place visiting, but it doesn't seem to register. Either they fall back on the mainstream narrative or they don't respond.
Perfect. When you get the "no response" that is a crack in the MSM glasses they are weraing.
Maybe. It could also mean that they think the conversation isn't going anywhere. I sometimes do that myself. I know that if I respond that the conversation is just going to degenerate and become even less productive because they're going to think I'm REALLY crazy.
But that's the key. If they do not continue to argue, then they have run out of "narrative" to regurgitate. It means they will be going straight back to the MSM to find the "answer" they are looking for. However, in their subconscious, their are questions about the validity of their own information. This is how it works in psychological warfare. All you need is a shadow of a doubt and the whole "lock step" breaks apart.
