Prior to DJT being in power, it was all business as usual. Those of us who were aware of the evil and corruption just took it day by day, not knowing how a change would ever occur. When 45 stepped in and gave us a new hope, MSM went ballistic, and ended up poisoning as many wells as possible. My marriage is nearly dead, my relationship with my son - who was indoctrinated at university has deteriorated, and my leftist sisters don’t communicate with me anymore. This has been an excruciating past few years. I’m running out of steam, and I’m sure I’m not the only one.

We are in the same boat..All of us. But you have to hang in. They are brainwashed by the global/commie-media. The only way out of this is a patriot victory. Hold the line and dont give in, let them come too you.
They dont understand what world they are living in. You should see yourself as lucky to see the truth finally.
Forgive them, for they know not what they do.
Get back into the church! And not the woke one! Most important advice you could give here. I recommend finding yourself a church from within the ARC group (Association of Related Churches). They are non-denominational, strictly Bible-based, no frills. Usually more current worship songs, and a much more current vibe. Think Elevation or Hillsong, just not nearly as big. Please give this a try - it literally saved my marriage and gave the both of us a new lease on life.

Many of us are in a similar boat. I have decided it is my job to wake as many up as possible regardless of the consequences. My own kid who worked in a number of liberal colleges has cut off most contact with me and my hubby just because we voted for Trump.
Keep the faith. We are all in this together.
Same boat here dude, I am unfortunately now down most of my family and friends. I hope trying to tell people the truth will help rebuild some of these bridges when the majority of them wake up
Yeah, same here. Everyone has their part to play. Some are fighters, some are peacemakers. God made us the way He did for a time and a reason ;)
Yes very similar for me. It's just that I can see the writing on the wall and I realize we can't sit and be quiet anymore. So I am speaking out a lot more. And I can tell that 99% of my family is completely clueless about what's happening. Both of my brothers see it too which is a plus.
In the years past under DJT I have woken up, I thought it was possible and tried to tell people what's going on. Bad decision, lots of unnecessary emotional pain inflicted. I am now just going to wait for the hardcore brainwashed people to wake up. I still will gladly try to help people if they show the will
My mother thinks I am delusional and even called me a zealot because of how devoted in my faith I am. But then she complains when I don't call her and talk to her all the time. I have no one, my father died almost a year ago and he was the only other sane person. (March 30) I feel like he is the lucky one because he isn't still alive to deal with this shit show where you often wonder if you are the saine one because of how messed up reality seems to be these days. As others have said you are not alone.
Prayers to you and your father. My dad passed a year before this covid nonsense. He was a tough old son of a bitch that raised me right. I often think how he would of handled all of this. He did leave me his arsenal of guns and ammo and taught me how to hunt, fish, skin, and cook game. Mission accomplished! I am now passing these skills off to my boys along with conservative values. I do fear what the future holds for "toxic masculinity".
I think we have similar fears but mine is for my girls. I am afraid of them being polluted and turned into this transgender mental illness.
What's happening right now with the Cabal agenda WILL come to an abrupt end.
You have us!!!
You are not alone. #WWG1WGA
Stay the course Both my parents died 6 months apart in 2011(my mom- massive stroke) and then early 2012 (my dad- colon cancer). And they are both buried in Arlington National Cemetery.
My dad listened to Rush every day. He was against Bill Clinton when he was POTUS and had a friend he would meet for lunch once or twice a week to discuss politics. Unfortunately, he voted ALL Republican regardless of who they were. We had some issues over that when he was still alive. He never liked the Dems but I couldn't get him to see that both parties were a problem.
I often wonder how my dad would take all that is going on right now AND so glad he isn't alive to see it. He was from the Greatest Generation and literally hated Communism!
You are indeed sane! And kudos to you for your faith. I've found that not talking about me and just me constantly asking them about their lives helps get conversation flowing on topics that are easily discussed.
That'd be the last time I talk with her.
Love you but you're a vampire so keep your distance.
Unless she sincerely apologized and showed remorse. Then of course I'd forgive her...but until then? ahahahahaha! Nope. I got things to do, I don't need a leech sucking my energy.
Keep the faith, brother, knowing that you/we certainly are not alone and most importantly, God Wins (I'm speaking out loud to myself, this shit ain't easy)
Just had a big blowout with a friend yesterday who expressed concern about my dangerous research. I hate the process of redpilling people. It's the hardest thing I've ever done, and it doesn't work very well. Or maybe I'm just no good at it. ?
I’m not very good at it either.
Don't try to prove you're point. Just ask questions that make them reevaluate theirs. You will never change their mind, they have to change it themselves and the only way to do that is by breaking the cognitive dissonance thru self exploration.
A really important point that I need to remind myself.
It's like smoking or alcoholism... nobody I know ever quit because somebody else told them to.
My Mom and Dad both went through years of smoking and would get angry whenever anyone would bring up the problems of smoking or ever said anything judgemental.
And then one day, my Dad just quit. Not overnight, but he had a bad feeling one night and everything clicked and he started with one day, which turned to 2, which turned to a year, which turned to 10 years.
My point is, something within him wanted to change, and that's the only way it was possible.
Applying this to redpilling means asking questions and creating that spark within them, so that THEY become the ones to awaken themselves.
100%! Do what Q did with us, ask questions to make people think critically, something MSM doesn’t want them to do. And have patience. It’s hard for those of us whole want to tell the whole picture upfront but de-programming happens slowly, overtime.
I've never bought into the idea that we need to be articulate to be listened to, but I'm pretty sure most of the people I know would disagree with me on that. I think it's worth trying anyways. At least then when everything finally makes sense to the normies, they'll realize there was a way to see through the lies the whole time.
I suck at it too. I've been gently red-pilling on Facebook. I got screamed at on FB by husband's cousin for posting a pic of the Ellipse on Jan 6th, before the Capitol riot. I forgot I posted it and was shocked when I logged back in to see the responses from the liberals on that side of the family. I tried to calmly fight back.
The 3 most vocal liberals from that side keep saying they are "Done" with me when we get in disagreements in the comments, but they keep coming back. I know they are in cognitive dissonance and since I use primary sources, they can't often refute me. I have been accused of thinking I am smarter than everyone, told "SHAME ON YOU. SHAME ON YOU", and other yelling by those 3. My mother's cousin told me I only post "angry" and that there is no way I can be a citizen journalist when I only present one side. I politely pointed out to her that I am usually smiling (thinking about their reactions) when I post so she is injecting the anger on her side. She stopped commenting after that.
I'm pretty sure I have been blocked/ignored by almost everyone on FB. I had kept my friends to just close friends and family so don't have a lot and am currently outnumbered by the liberals.
I have consistently posted that they are being lied to by journalists and post examples. Even liberal (mother's) cousin who worked for BBC and said that I cannot be a citizen journalist agreed once that the state of journalism is not good! I post fun stuff occasionally to see who is stopping by and I am pretty sure that a lot of people are quietly reading my posts. Yesterday, I posted about the Evergreen stuff. I made a mistake in ship's name and was corrected by one who gets mad at me a lot (the SHAME ON YOU one and you think you are smarter than everyone.) I admitted my mistake and added the H3RC callsign info to the post :)
I am developing a thick skin (I hate conflict!) and know that I am helping expose them to the fact that something is not right and am showing them that I am finding data that is at odds with what they believe. I quote from Adam Grant's Think Again book frequently, which also helps.
I love challenges and FB now is a challenge!
I've given up on Facebook, it just gives me a headache now. I've deactivated mine for Lent and I feel SO much more mentally clear. I'm going to keep it deactivated and probably delete it someday. I'm DONE with big tech.
I don't read much of the feed and if I see something I disagree with, I ignore. I focus on my own feed and presenting information that won't be seen on MSM, with a few Q nuggets thrown in occasionally by saying, "from someone who posted on certain message boards". :)
I will enjoy getting rid of it someday, but for now it's annoyingly useful XD
I've actually got a TON of people reading every day what I can only describe a redpill news. They've even come up to me at various events and said that they read everything I post, and they've said thank you. I didn't realize it at first, because a LOT of people don't like/comment.
Using FB as a tool to drop info has led to a lot of people I know waking up. And then THEY go on to redpill OTHER people ;-) One guy even said "Half of my huge family is really mad at me because I redpilled the other half" XD
I quit FB a couple months ago because I couldn't resist responding to leftist's posts. I would respond with facts, they would then either name call or flee. I like keeping up with some relatives and friends, but when they post the leftist garbage, I can't let it go :)
Same here. I used to go after pro-aborties A LOT, because it's easy to shoot them down with facts, but every single time without fail I was called a woman-hater (though I'm a woman), an internal misogynist, "you just want to control women's bodies," Bible thumper, etc, etc, etc. It's fun sometimes but most of the time it just made me want to throw my laptop out the window. I've realized that fighting with people over the internet does not work in changing their minds, you have to say it right to their faces so they can't hide behind the clapping emoji or vitriolic words. If they want to call you disgusting things then they'll have to say it with their own mouths, and that usually ends up being harder to do face to face.
Is it Big Tech though or your shit friends and family?
They are STILL that person, you just don't have to watch their mental illness play out in real time and be forever preserved on the Borg.
It's both. It's mainly friends though (or ex-friends now).
You make a good point that they keep saying they're done, but keep coming back. I think you're right that they're experiencing cognitive dissonance and keep coming back to convince themselves they're right. Your using primary sources makes it harder for them to do that. They have to attack what they can see is true or defend what they can see is false. Every time they do that, it's another little crack in their thinking until eventually they realize the foundation they were standing on doesn't hold.
I have started finding other like minded Q peeps on FB. We all follow one anothers posts. I found many of them from other Q peeps.
Here is the deal. The more people who comment on a FB post the more likely it shows up on your other friend's pages (unless they literally block you).
I have over 600 followers on FB. I know some are liberal cousins who dont engage. I just hope they are able to see some of the posts. I decided to post as much as possible so that I can wake as many people up as Possible.
Certain posts are not allowed on FB especially links to any of the Q posts, here at GAW or other redpilling cites. I usually post the links and leave spaces for people to fix and find on their own.
How can research be dangerous? Unless it leads you to an uncomfortable truth, I guess?
“Dangerous”...that’s a hoot.
Take a topic - gun violence
Provide an official source of information - fbi.gov
Ask why media numbers do not match up with official sources. You can show how media fluff their stats combining suicides with homicides, ect.
Ask what reason they would do this unless they wanted you to think a certain way. The quick, undeniable jabs like this chip away at narratives.
God is turning you into a saint :)
Maybe we should start "Q clubs" in various cities around the country, to occasionally meet and discuss things :) (the down side would then be that the naysayers would know where to find a bunch of us in one place)
That would be so awesome!
We could put out an announcement to join "Club 17" :)
Yes!
You are among Frens. Truly. ???
I spent a year trying to educate a good friend about the "virus" and the plans behind the vaccines (event 201, Fauci, NIH, Wuhan, Gates, HIV insertions et al.) Last week she sent me a message that she got the first shot. She was dumbfounded as to why I was so furious, and actually thought through her vaccine damaged mind that I might try to hurt her. The brainwashing is STRONG. We here must have some genetic trait or upbringing that shields us from the powers of MSM persuasion, so many people are being led to slaughter. She said at least 70% of her clients had already been vaccinated. Surrounded by fools in a medical death cult.
Interesting that you mention the genetic trait. I’ve wondered about this. Why some of us are completely aware to the evil, while others so sound asleep. It really is a fascinating topic.
Yes to the genetic trait u/Bill_Paxton & u/Peekay8!
Since I discovered Q two months after the first post on October 28, 2017 this has been uppermost in my mind! Why us? Why are others minds closed? Unwilling to learn?
I can only say that I feel deep within my soul...we are MEANT to be here. The reason is known only to God...
You SAID IT!!! ?? We chose this mission before reincarnating to guide others IMO.
Interesting you should say that, because from a very early age, I was always able to see the odd thing of a bunch. For example, if walking on a beach, I would be able to find an unusual shell among thousands of similar shells, or if in a place where there were rocks scattered, I would be able to pick out the one that has some cool crystal. I saw a show on TV once, where they highlighted people with unusual talents, and one guy could detect a SINGLE pixel different from two digital images of about a million pixels! (I'm not at that level, but I wonder if that guy sees through the MSM BS? :) )
I used to have to walk through Grand Central terminal on my way to work, and in the morning, it would be like a giant ant colony, with people going about 10 different directions, and all passing by each other. Rarely would anyone have to do one of those stop and re-direct their path maneuvers. So I guess my ability was as good as the thousands of others :)
Makes perfect sense.
I'm a Scorpio. There is no scientific justification for astrology, zero, zilch, absolutely none! You can find just as many true "predictions" of astrology as you can any other random prediction. When you look for verification, you will find it; it is called confirmation bias. That same phenomena has to be very carefully guarded against with all things Q. The one source of totally reliable predictions, with all either proven already, or not yet proven, is the Bible.
Agreed ??
I am a sagittarius and would give my life fior President Trump and Patriots. I searched for the truth and found it. Perhaps some of us sagittarius are taking the longer path to realization and I pray that they, and all who search are Greatly Awakened.
I don't believe in astrology, but I'm a Libra, so have you noticed any Libras and what they're doing/thinking during this time? I have no idea.
Do Taurus next
Scorpio here; a Veteran, proud Trump supporter and been Constitutionally Conservative my whole life. My niece and I share Birthdays and she’s a truly evil character. I’ve always been a peacemaker and Truther at heart. Very giving. That demon-witch Killary and I also share Birthdays...and you have no IDEA how much that bugs me ?. We ARE now into the Age of Aquarius and there’s A LOT to that, but I’ve never seen how astrology shoehorns “alike” people together so I call it BS. I hold firm that we’re reliving the Book of Esther and God WINS!!! -Peace
Like I said, it’s all bunk to me.
lmao @ "egg-pilled"
Our pineal glands aren't calcified.
I don’t think it’s so much genetic (although innate intelligence helps), as much as spiritual armor(?). Not meaning in a religious sense, more like we SIGNED-UP FOR THIS before reincarnation. Many will poo-poo that but this Awakening is as much spiritual as it is just “seeing the Truths” before us. We were meant to be the sounding wall that stands firm against the madness. Either we wake them up, they wake up on their own or they FALL.
Eugenics masquerading as health care.
Stay strong fren, you are not alone. My parents have always been hopelessly lost leftist Deep Staters; my inlaws vape Chris Cuomo's urine, but MIL is coming around (she texted "I think I voted for the wrong party" this morning); 2 of 3 kids have been indoctrinated but are savable once the big action starts to hit. My cousin is gone forever, full-blown TDS. I spent 15 years red-pilling my wife, but she is in lockstep with me now. Not an autist, but she gets it. I suggest doing a little praying for understanding. It helps me.
Just want to say hello!
Prior to 2016 I was very good friends with some moderately left friends in college. We all got along because politics was not important before 2016, nobody talked about it, it wasn't in our sights, we just focused on school work and had fun watching movies and shows, playing games and such, we were a very tight knit group. I wasn't the only conservative, there was one other, and maybe 2 decently moderate others, so it was a good mix.
Then 2016 came along. Beginning of the year was fine. We weren't worried about the election, we were focused on end-of-year stuff and finals. Even I wasn't worried about Clinton, though I had a horrible feeling she'd become the next president, but I had no idea what to say or do about it, so I just didn't say anything. Then September and October rolled around, and I could feel a strange tension forming in the backs of everybody's minds. Everyone was tense and nobody was happy, conservatives and lefties alike.
I continued to keep my mouth shut, knowing I wanted to vote for Trump, but my moderately lefty friends had flown completely into the ultra-left woke-sphere and they never came back. One "came out" as bisexual, though now she is full-on dyke lesbian, complete with butch haircut, ugly flannel shirts, and an absolute whale for a "wife." Another "came out" as asexual, though I have no idea if that's entirely true, it seemed he just said that for clout, but he is radical BLM now. Another girl is all-in on the vaccine lies and has received hers, no idea how's she's doing though.
And the most crazy girl of all, let's call her Katie. Katie was a hard-core Trump hater before the 2016 election, and would frequently mention it. She was so excited for a female president and she knew none of the crimes of Clinton or she didn't care. Day after election and Trump is declared victor she is quiet and reserved and constantly jittery all day. She, I, and 2 other friends returned to their apartment to study and also discuss the days events. I, my conservative friend, and another moderate friend (at the time, she's pretty hard democrat now), sat down at the table and talked quietly and civilly about the election. I didn't want to fully "out" myself as very conservative so I said things like "It was a hard choice either way, they're both not very good candidates" though I didn't believe that. We kept talking and Katie FLEW out of her room and stomped up to us and screamed "Stop talking about Trump! He's going to ruin this country! He's going to kill us all! He's a racist! He's--" blah blah blah. We all stared dumbfounded at her and said, "Katie, we were quietly discussing the election, not just Trump, we're allowed to talk about it, it's an important issue, and we're being quiet and civil. If it's bothering you, put on your headphones and go study." She was in tears and stomping her feet and losing her mind, but eventually she slammed back into her room and called her conservative dad to complain to him. I don't know why she called him, maybe pick someone who actually gives a sh*t about your opinion, but whatever.
And now this girl, Katie, has completely blocked me out of her life. I tried sending her a few small redpilling things, asking her what she thinks about Biden's EO raising the prices of insulin, or his hypocrisy about signing so many EOs when he said that doing that is akin to a dictatorship. She never answered my questions but instead prattled on about how white people are so racist, so privileged, etc. I reminded her that SHE is white, like super white, with red hair and fair skin that turns lobster red for moments in the sun. She didn't like that, to be reminded that she's white after she said that all white people are racist, which would include her, and she blocked me. After I had promised to never block her again, she does just that to me. Hypocrites is all they are.
This is a long rant, but the point is that I've lost basically all but 1 of my old college friends, the conservative one. I'm trying to build some knew friendships with some nice guys at church but it's hard to stay positive when you're so alone.
Yep, even while at a conservative Catholic university I felt I still had to hide my beliefs and political opinions. One very strong reason was because in Sophomore year I was yelled at by one of my professors, aptly named Dr. Black (a white man complete with man-bun) for trying to gently correct him on the false stats he brought forth on police "targeting" black people specifically. I said "No, that's not right, it's actually almost exclusively white people, but the news just focuses on the black shootings" etc. He went BALLISTIC and yelled and screamed at me in front of the whole class. By the end of his tirade I was so humiliated and scared that I didn't speak for the rest of class. I quickly left, was consoled by another student who said she had gone through the same thing with him in his office, walked back to my dorm and cried. (I'm a girl, give me some slack). I had never been so badly treated by anyone in my life, and by a teacher no less, who is supposed to TEACH me, not berate and belittle me.
Some other students told me to tell the Administration, but I never did. I had no heart for confrontations and just wanted to forget the whole thing. Looking back I wish I had done something, because he is STILL teaching there, and I'm disgusted beyond belief.
I think we've all had instances in our lives where we look back and regret not speaking up about it or doing something about it, so don't feel bad about it now! You are young and you at least had the courage to speak out in the class about the lies! You probably put a little spark into other students who were there, so you probably had a significant impact on people there! Congrats to you, keep up the good thoughts, and be strong for the future!
Thanks for sharing. It is difficult to stay positive. I recently lost my two oldest friends because of this. People say, “Suck it up. Stand firm.” But I’ve lost everyone close to me. The cabal had a plan to divide us, and it has been very effective.
Thanks for reading it, it was way too long, sorry about that. But I always tell this story to actual sane people and when they hear how she reacted they're like "yeah she's crazy, you should be glad to be rid of her." In some ways I am, but in other ways I still wanted to talk to her to get her to open up her mind. I told her that if she doesn't try to see the other side of the argument then she is closed minded, and boy she didn't like that. She sees herself as the most open minded, love for all type person, with the alphabet crowd and BLM especially, and so hearing me tell her that just made her go crazy. I'm going to wait a little while longer, get some more info and facts on my side, then try to go after her again. I still have her cell number so if she wants to shut me out completely she'll have to block me there too. I'm just biding my time for the perfect moment when Biden does something so stupid that it finally affects HER personally, then I'll strike.
I'm sorry :( But keep trying to stay positive! This has been so hard on so many of us. I hope you find new friends at church!
I will, thank you! And yes, I've reconnected with a former acquaintance from college at my local church so we at least have a relationship that goes back a ways.
Stay strong. We are all in in the same or similar boat. My wife and some cousins even voted for Trump in a blue state but they are still brainwashed by the MSM on every other topic and I constantly try to get them to wake up.
This one is 100% I think the reason. I’m willing to bet almost everyone on this board does not watch main stream news even Fox News, and perhaps not OANN or Newsmax? I know I certainly don’t. My husband and I cut cable and turned off the news years ago, we couldn’t handle all the BS spewed. We’ve stopped using Facebook which has been difficult at times during the shut downs because it’s been a way to connect with others, but we found it to be so toxic and full of hate. So now it’s just us and a few other friends we keep in touch with, mostly over text and phone calls but that’s really it. It does seem strange to feel so disconnected sometimes but honestly I think that’s part of the reason that we’re not brainwashed like the rest.
I digg the lighthouse analogy fren ?
Just wait til the dam breaks. All those people will realize holy cow Peekay8 was actually telling us the truth and we treated him like complete shit... maintain your integrity in the meantime and focus on your health
I know things have been tough, we are all feeling it. It could be a good time to self reflect and turn towards God and pray for those that you love. Pray that your loved ones awakens to the truth, and prepare yourself for once they realize the truth so you can help them through the darkness. They will come around with time. God is in control
if we could have a little justice so we could say "I told ya so".... but no, not anywhere in sight.
First post here - long time lurker, but wanted to respond to this. Breaks my heart to hear about your deteriorating relationships. I wanted to just give my two cents on what's helped me.
There's a great book I just finished that I recommend EVERYONE on GA check out. It's called "Never Split the Difference" by Chris Voss (former lead negotiator for FBI - now works with businesses). Anyways, in the book he describes how he'd have to talk with bank robbers who had hostages, kidnappers, terrorists, etc. Basically the scum of the earth. But it's insanely interesting the psychological 'tricks' of the trade. Love or hate the FBI, I get it, but what he talks about is gold.
Anyways, one thing that stood out for me was his concept of "Tactical Empathy" - which is essentially 'seeking first to understand' where they're coming from. And keep in mind, understanding is NOT agreeing. Sometimes you have to throw people a bone. If you know all they watch is CNN, or FOX News, or whatever it is, you have to meet them there. You can't simply say "Every mainstream media platform is lying to you, they're controlled by the CIA, they're the cabal, they're the enemy" right off the bat. Because there was a time likely when you didn't think that was the case, and eventually you realized it.
The further down the rabbit hole we go, the harder it is to communicate with someone who doesn't even know a hole exists. Our job isn't to get them to where we are, just like whoever turned us onto this madness didn't do it by verbally vomiting everything they knew. No, they likely got you to start doing one simple, rather innocent thing - start asking questions.
As I tell people I talk to, "Look, I don't know exactly what's going on. But I know what's being told by the mainstream media isn't what's going on." Most people will tend to agree with that. At some point in time they heard something on the news or saw in a newspaper that was patently false. Public 'trust' in the media is at all time lows. People are dying for clarity, and for the most part people don't give a shit. They haven't spent enough time looking into it.
As a Christian, it's about like before you were saved. The problem is that we were 'drowning' in sin, yet we DIDN'T know we were drowning.
In "Never Split the Difference" Voss also described something that has helped me not to burn bridges or have people curse my name (maybe they do, I haven't heard it). He says you need to figure out how to 'disagree WITHOUT being disagreeable'. This single skill has helped me more than I know.
I empathize with you brother. But, we're dealing with serious stuff. It's not a case of right versus left, repub versus dem. It's GOOD versus EVIL.
But keep in mind, the Gospel of Jesus Christ is OFFENSIVE to children of the evil one. It cuts deep. it challenges everything. I'm not likening Q to the Bible, but I am saying truth cuts deep, sacred cows are slaughtered, and you WILL be vindicated in the end even though it's rough now. You're fighting the good fight. You're LEADING. Keep your head up and continue to LEAD from the FRONT.
This is a quality first post. Thank you. ?
You just need to move on and accept that you can’t be friends with low iq people. If its family try and persuade them.
Don’t give up! We are right, they are wrong, GOD is on our side!
Yup. All alone here too.
Most days I’m on cruise control, and just keep my head down, but if water can wear away a stone, we know that all this negativity can wear us down as well. It’s exhausting.
We have ALL lost family and friends from this Awakening. The way I see it now is at least they know who to turn to when it starts to sink-in with them. Move forward with strength and resolve. Like the old saying about setting something free that you love...it’ll come back if it was meant to be. Very Zen, very His plan. Edit; THIS site and maybe 7 left from original several dozen friends, is my support group.
We are with you. You are not alone.. Pray.
You are DEFINITELY not alone. January 6th confirmed this to me. It was amazing to drive from California to meet people from all walks of life. That was the diversity showing of the year, but the people who are asleep think that it's just white supremacists.
The great awakening is a global movement and we're here with you. I'm late to the party since I started waking up in October 2020. When I got into the theater, the film was already playing. I look forward to waking up baby more people with you all.
I hear you man. I'm 45, single and live in New Hampshire... It used to be a republican state, but not any more... It's been 8 years since I've been on date cause all the single women around here are libtards... :-/
I grew up in North Hampton. I only miss the seafood, IMO all of New England has always been libtarded. I miss the beauty but I could never go back.
Hampton Falls here.
Winnacunnett Class ‘79!!!
You're not alone. I am exhausted, too. In fact yesterday and today, I am in a very dark place. Thoughts of *if everyone hates me and we all can't be a family again - then, really, what do I care if any of this gets fixed"
I'm sure by tonight, I'll feel better - maybe you'll feel better with me?
If you look at my post history, you’ll see that I’m...skeptical of Q. But I hope that, regardless of your political leanings comparing or contrasting with mine, you’re feeling better soon.
It is time for people to sue the media on every novel theory they can find.
I got divorced, not over this but one reason cited was my support for trump. It is what it is. I'm married again and she loves trump. Hang in there, find a conservative group, do whatever you need to do for your own mental stability.
Sorry. It really is hard plodding through when you see America swirling the bowl. We do the best with what we have, but it’s not easy when our expectations fall short. Switch up the paradigm and maybe focus on taking a vacation and getting a different point of view for awhile. I know I feel better after a few cocktails on the beach!
I’ve stopped talking to all my immediate family because of the “welfare loving, trump hating, what have you done for me lately way they think”. It is difficult but I’ve started to realize that they have had the same destructive behavior my entire life - it’s my tolerance of the behavior that has changed.
It helped me realize that I am growing and gave me a small amount of comfort. Maybe it will help you as well.
I understand this and share your pain. I have essentially lost my four younger grandchildren to The Dark Side via the example set by their mother and their lib indoctrination at school. That family is estranged and I am excised as if with a scalpel, while their father is made invisible. Thank God he is a patriot though! My son and daughter see The Light. What you are going through is tragic yes...
But if I ask myself could I pretend to think like The Leftists in my family, in order to bridge the gap, I know that I could not stomach such fraud. And I doubt you could. So we just move forward day by day. And pray for them. And for ourselves.
No, I definitely could not pretend. I think the saddest part is how the MSM followers have been so filled with hatred. People that used to be happy-go lucky are now seething with rage.
No you are not alone.
I only redpill people in doses they can handle.
I’d work on your marriage for starters. That’s really important. I don’t think you have believe the exact same thing to get along. Maybe back off a bit. Take her out for dinner and show you care about her as a person. I think you’ll be happier if you invest in your marriage.
I am in such a similar situation as you, except fortunately my husband is on board. My daughters are still conservative after college (Thank you God!) and while they believed in the Plan after watching the Proofs video, we have had ups and downs and they always tell me that nothing is happening and that what I am saying can't be "true" because I don't have proof. So I can't talk to them about this any more. They did buy into the Gamestop possibility after I presented all the articles/posts I found and have bought shares because they didn't want to be wrong :)
The rest of the family think I am in a cult and don't interact with me like they used to. I am most upset about the loss of a good relationship with my sister - my only sibling. There are other factors besides Q and I just pray that she will come around. I told them all about Gamestop with a thoroughly researched e-mail just in case it does pan out, and was met with crickets.
So I have resolved to do things differently. I just find other topics to talk about when reaching out to my close family and ignore the Q stuff in any talking. They can see the latest in what I'm thinking via Facebook. We have family Facetimes and that has kept most of us closer than we were in the past all spread out across the country. I just build on those calls with texts and "quick touches" via those texts to let them know I am thinking about them. I am very fortunate to have 4 Q friends I converse with via texts. That saves me!
Despite the seeming positives I listed above, I am unemployed and feel very isolated and alone at times. I'm one for only a few close friends anyway, but had a great "work" family for years before I was laid off. I miss that "family" a lot. I can't focus well which makes looking for a job and preparing for an interview difficult.
I am in the Groundhog movie, every day.
Out of curiosity, and with personal information redacted (obviously), what did you say in your GameStop email?
Here is part of it. I started by telling them I thought it was as close to a sure thing as we would ever see in our lifetime. And then included instructions for how to set up a Robinhood account so they could trade immediately. The following is the meat of what I said (and had researched.)
So here’s the back story. On Reddit (once upon a time was a free speech message forum), in 2019(?) a sub-reddit (forum) was started called WallStreetBets. Curiously, the character representing the WallStreetBets sub-reddit looks like a young Donald Trump. (Look it up!) From what I understand, a user called DeepFuckingValue started explaining that GameStop stock was going to basically be a sure thing down the road because the hedge funds had shorted the stock way beyond the amount of retail shares available. He has since testified before Congress that he still believes in Gamestop (after a big event with that stock and the stock market in January) and doubled-down on buying more stock at $40/share. He is potentially sitting on 500K shares of GameStop if he converts some options to shares.
I became aware of the Gamestop short in January and even posted about it on Facebook. But I was too chicken to jump in – I’ve never bought any stock on my own – just let <husband> and or the money managers buy it for our IRAs and 401Ks. And I know how rigged the stock market can be. And sure enough, some hijinks happened with the Gamestop (GME) stock in January. People couldn’t sell when the stock soared, were limited to buying one share with Robinhood, and the hedge funds won that round. Since then the stock has risen again from $40 to ~$267 as I type.
So the retail investors are betting that they can beat the hedge funds this Friday. It’s called a witching day which happens 4 times a year, where basically the trading companies have to tidy up their books to show that they’re not playing any games. (Of course they game the system because the SEC does NOTHING!) So they have to have all the stock that they have borrowed in hand by Friday. That means that they have to buy it from the retail investors. Now, a lot of those investors are pissed about what happened in 2008, what happened to them in January, and they have learned that they need to hold until the end. Because the hedge funds have shorted the stock so badly that they have to buy every single share that the retail investors own by Friday. If we don’t sell, the price will soar as they frantically try to buy. This is called a short squeeze.
Here is a Twitter thread that explains it better than I can.

If you go back and search for articles on Gamestop, you’ll see the typical financial reporting, blaming WallStreetBets for ganging up on Wall Street (ha ha ha ha!) in January to cause the crash. There have been Congressional hearings on this and the January hijinks and surprise! they did nothing about the obvious market manipulation.
Here is a really good video made in January explaining more about what is happening and he explains shorts in video form (warning – lots of language!):

So, given that the stock market is so corrupt, why should you buy shares? Why do I think there is a chance that it will work out this time?
The ex-CEO of Chewy.com (Ryan Cohen) joined the Gamestop board to help save the company. He brought in old Chewy board members to help. A couple weeks ago he cryptically posted to social media a frog and ice cream cone symbol. No explanation. This week, the Twitter account for the guy who is the Reddit user DeepFuckingValue, posted a video of Mario World where Mario is a frog and he gets an ice cream cone. When the video ends, the score is over 500K. People think this is the target price per share! (Berkshire Hathaway stock is over $300K/share so it’s not unheard of!)
Here is that (quick) video:

There are forces helping this game along. There are too many at play already setting this up for the little guys to succeed. Who? I believe it is ultimately God helping some others (I’ll leave you to figure that out or ask me if you really want to know what I think) help the little guys get retribution on the brokers who have screwed the little guys for decades. The company that the hedge funds bet would go bankrupt now has all sorts of rumors swirling about how they are making a huge comeback.
Soooo, this is now dated. A LOT has happened in 2 weeks. The short didn't happen on the witching day (because there is so much illegal crap going on!) But I am still bullish on this stock and the potential for it to blow sky-high. Almost all of us who joined in the past 2 weeks are now under water but everyone is holding, not overly worried, and just waiting for the shorts to have to be covered. So much is off the books that we retail investors have no insight into when the short squeeze will happen.
There is also a Twitter account I watch (DFV's Twitter) - TheRoaringKitty. His videos let us know that he is still all in and watching the hedge funds antics. They also have a lot of entertainment value.
I watch the Reddit board daily to monitor analysis and posted articles. Like MSM journalism, you can't trust the financial journalists. The Redditors have learned that lesson!
And yes, I bought some Gamestock shares. The first stock I ever bought on my own! No way in hell I'm missing this fun! I will stick it to the hedgies who caused all of us so much misery here in FL (and in the world) in 2008!!
Another benefit of this? I have finally learned more about the stock market! It's crooked as hell but these hijinks should force some transparency back in.
Very interesting read and thoughts. Thank you for sharing them!
Sure thing!
