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.

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 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 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
