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.

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.
