I have 3 acquaintances whom, like me are all retired Navy Veterans who were all fervent Trump supporters full of MAGA spirit. On the day after the election, the other 3 straight-up abandoned any hope, and went on with their lives. I make an effort to share pertinent information from here and other conservative sources with the right message with them, including pumping the Cyber Symposium to them, starting out with the brief video that Mike Lindell is repeating throughout the event. 1 out of those 3 guys actually responded to that with, "I dont disagree with that but when will anybody stop talking and doing something to fix it?" It is fucking sad to me that that response was the strongest...the only response from any of them. Also, I am almost certain that none of them have bothered to look at the program. They have given up any hope.
Bannon always say 1/3 of the country supported the revolution, 1/3 was indifferent and 1/3 wanted to stay with England... but only 3% fought in the war.
A rough estimate of your numbers there validate that. Listen the media is beating down on these people daily, we need to think of a way to counter that without coming off as annoying or as loons. My way is to state obvious things in the store loud enough for people to hear (without shouting) while I'm talking to friends. Things like "guys I heard the variant thats coming out tomorrow is supposed to be even scarier than the one that came out yesterday" or "the (insert media) hates us, I looked into the editor in chief of our local newspaper and it turns our he was shipped here from a big city, I looked into his tweets and he hates us and thinks he's better than us".
Sometimes I get scowls, sometimes people approach me and say they've noticed the same thing. It's important for people to know they're not alone, and these are stories they'll go tell friends and family to validate their beliefs.
What we need to do is shift the mainstream narrative, I hate to be mean but there are some people that just believe whatever is popular at the time, we just need to keep moving the needle one person at a time, and we're running out of time. Also keep a good and positive attitude people gravitate towards positivity, smile laugh, and try not to directly insult people, because they'll never switch camps of you do. Things like "I believed everything until I found out..."
I've never seen war, but I'm willing to do anything to make sure we don't have to, if I took a step and looked at the big picture this is what I would do.
This, in my mind is what I am to these friends. But I dont stop sharing. None of them has told me to my face that I am following what I believe they think is a lost cause formed by my disappointment from the election.
I've had friends approach me after years and say "how did you know? You were right about everything" and now they're calling me a conspiracy theorist behind my back again. Man, ya just gotta keep at it.
I wish I shared your optimism. The silence I hear in response to all of my effort is most discouraging. I also hold these guys in very high regard, but their apparent apathy is something that's very hard for me to reconcile.
This is what I'm experiencing. Those I got to listen are now uninterested or defeated. Hell after Lindell's big flop on day one I feel defeated. I've fought for what I've seen all around me way before Q came around. The movement gave me hope and energy because I saw many more people who thought like me who were just afraid to use their voice. Once they started using their voice, social media made them pay. Now everyone is too beat down, too afraid to lose everything, too scared of retaliation. I refuse to believe that God has forsaken us, but I'm afraid that he will have to allow something awful to happen for people to turn that fear and apathy to shear anger and purpose. What will it take?
Apathy is a byproduct of hopelessness. As with the poster you responded to, I believe what many of these folks need to see is something significant and concrete that indicates things are turning around. Then they'll begin to hope again, and the apathy will dissipate.
