Although her family are all conservatives, she ended up being the loud mouth liberal in the bunch.
She is my youngest brother's wife. And generally gets along with everyone but she came over today for lunch and we got into it. Here's how it went.
Her: Have you seen the latest numbers?
Me: yea. What about them?
Her: Maybe you should think about getting the vaccine and talking the rest of the family into it instead of being an anti vaxxer.
Me: I don't make their decisions. But since you want to talk about numbers, let's talk.
(At this point I asked her very simple questions to end this quickly)
Me: how many people in ICU are terminal patients dying from chronic illness who also happen to have covid?
Her: uhh I don't know.
Me: If someone dies or is hospitalized/ICU within 14 days of getting the second dose labeled as a covid?
Her: I don't know.
Me: why are there more deaths this year than last year if the Delta variant has a higher rate of transmission but less deadly?
Her: what do you mean?
Me: Why are states and nation's with early mass vaccination numbers seeing a higher total and rate in vaccinated for hospitalized and dead than unvaxxed?
Her: More people are vaccinated
Me: I specifically said rate. Explain.
Her: unvaccinated are spreading and causing mutation
Me: so 100% of the planet needs to get vaccinated?
Her: I don't know. Maybe.
Me: what other "vaccine" required 100% of the planet to get it?
Her: uhhh I don't know
Me: None. What happens to a population after being locked down for nearly 2 years without socializing, minimal exercise and binging on junk food and alcohol? What happens when they open up again? What happens to a person's immune system when depressed?
Her: uhh what does that have to do with anything?
Me: you're not welcome around my children or in my home until you smarten up. I've already texted my brother. Time to leave
I've had it with these people. I genuinely can't take their stupidity anymore.
Try it with any libtard. They have no answers
This has been my method with the most success as well. Just ask them questions and it's like you're jump starting their brain. Doesn't always work but it's the least confrontational way to open eyes and if they lose their cool it just proves
Nice quote.
Yep 100%. Stay calm and collected. Then when they start going into reee mode, point out their aggression."with you getting so angry, I think this cult thing may be unhealthy for your mental health".
Good quote.
All of the ones in my life have basically been stunned into total denial and/or silence. Going to a party tonight. This should be interesting. A few libs I know in the crowd I only see once every few years.
That's an easy one. Just shame them. "What are you doing at a party? Don't you know there's a pandemic? You're selfish"
They really knew what they were doing calling it project mockingbird. These little mockingbirds repeating everything questioning nothing.
Any well informed moral conservative can beat any liberal on pretty much any subject. They don't know anything - they don't even know history. And that includes liberals who are actual historians. When it comes to politics they have a dead zone.
