Spent the holiday weekend in what i thought to be a very progressive blue city. I was stunned at how forthcoming people were about their politics and how much they missed Trump. Help wanted signs in the windows of every business, gas over three dollars a gallon, no one wearing masks, long waits at restaurants due to short staff. Pretty much every single person voiced their frustrations with the current state of the country.
The most striking conversation I had was with a gay Puerto Rican Uber driver, who in the course of a five minute ride managed to praise trump, make fun of the mask mafia and hint at election fraud.
The country has had a mass awakening. The thievery of the establishment will not go unpunished for long. We’re almost there. Keep the faith.
I am not seeing an outright conversion with the raging liberals (family mostly) on my FB, but i have had two go off on me in the past 2 days which makes me think they are worried or at least have cognitive dissonance.
I've been posting there daily, lots of items from here, just trying to red-pill. Most of the time those who disagree just ignore me. Today I had an old roommate (also ex-Air Force nurse) tell me "I am destroying my country and that I need to think about posting all these conspiracy theories in case I regret it later. Just try to get Trump elected in 3 years." That was in response to me musing about the AZ ballots still being monitored on Camera 1 and what that really means. And my mother's mean cousin got especially nasty with me.
I don't like conflict, don't enjoy being the lone voice in the wilderness in the family and this is really starting to wear on me. I contemplated just not posting there any longer. But I decided I will hold my head up high, take the high road, and keep posting articles/items that they won't see if I don't post them. And I'll keep nicely debating them even if they attack me.
In my experience, lashing out at another is definitely a sign of discomfort. The discomfort exists because of their own unresolved issues (including cognitive dissonance), things that bother them and which they don't want to examine, so instead they lash out at the one who presented the thing that caused their discomfort. No way to tell at what point they may decide to examine their internal reasons for the discomfort, but the more you put in front of them, the more discomfort they'll feel, and maybe eventually there will be progress in their thinking.
Thanks. You reassured me that I gauged their reactions correctly. I don’t have a lot of experience with this. I’m not a big social media person to begin with and have shied away from debating politics as I’m a math/science person and usually suck at debating. I’ve always worked with conservatives so I’m not practiced in defending what I think. And since I don’t like conflict, this is not fun to me. I am curious to see how they will handle what unfolds though!
i sometimes lash out because i get so frustrated with the constant gaslighting telling me i am a crazy nutjob when i am showing blatant shenanigans and forensic data you can all see with own eyes and ears.
Makes my blood boil talking to liberals. I just cannot stand to be around them anymore. Thank god i dont live in a country with access to guns.
someday you may wish you did have access to those guns.
You know what's put me in a good mood lately? Check the discusions being had in the comment sections of stuff like this. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ehBWzW_aKyQ&list=PLYa4qMZH_IvSJAH3BN3Lx9gMBIk2biG1F&index=2
So many awake or just on the cusp of it. Fertile red pill dropping territory.
