I'm on a driving trip with my family. Dad stopped at a gas station in KY and i went in to use the ladies room. Saw this old man talking to the clerk. Missed the first part but i heard him say (in really southern accent) "Ive been democrat all my life and i think it is time i switch!" The clerk nodded his head un agreement.

There were two older people in line in front of me at Lowe's talking very loudly about the election being stolen. Man struck up a conversation with the woman in line in front of him and both of them completely agreed everything happening right now is bullshit. People are getting angry. These two didn't care who overheard their conversation.
I had a conversation with my Black coworker at lowes. He said he wants to do music videos. I warned him about satanic rituals and he said that he wants to look out for that shit. We had a whole conversation about satanists in today’s music. People are more awake to the establishments bull shit now than ever.
The stereotype is that Qanon is a rural white racist conspiracy theory but here I am talking about to someone the media says would be angry at me for mentioning it given that I live in a racially black/white/Hispanic area.
Kentucky used to be a Democrat State. My grandparents as well as my parents were all Democrat. If they were alive today, my Father would be jumping up and down and shaking his fists at these Ignorant people in office who call themselves Democrats. My grandmother/ mom's mother would be doing the same. This is not your family's Democrat Party that you once may have known.
THAT'S WHY I BECAME A REPUBLICAN CONSERVATIVE. Yes, I live in Kentucky; born and bred.
Had project in KY back in the '90s. Guy told me "My granddad was a democrat, my dad is a democrat, and I'll always be a democrat". I told him that the party of his grandparents is long gone, and that he seemed too conservative to support what the dem party had become. I hope he is one of them who is awake now.
Me too. I woke up; and I truly mean WOKE UP because I worked from 4 PM to 4 Am and slept until noon, so I woke up when I found out they were killing babies at birth and calling it abortions. I truly SLEPT through all that. But I promise you I will never sleep like that again.
I had a co worker that had that exact same mind set. Because her family had ALWAYS voted Democrat, she would ONLY vote for Dems. She stopped talking to me when I told her I hoped that Teddy Kennedy was burning in hell.!
Dad from KY; mom from Arkansas. Both WERE Ds; my grandparents were Ds. My parents are NO longer Ds. If my grandparents were alive there is NOTHING that today's Ds believe in that would cause my relatives to remain Ds. I've been saying what you said...this is not our grandparents' democratic party" for years now. Thank you! God bless!
I carpooled with my boss recently who is a black, southside Chicagoan. Hard core democrat through and through. I let the conversation flow naturally and she was all for term limits, hates Biden, said she would consider voting R for someone who isn’t as divisive as Trump (I just let her speak - redpills can come later). A year ago my management team was openly mocking Trump/Rs in meetings. Now it’s dead silent. No one says anything.
I've heard a couple center-liberal women recently express regret in voting for Biden.
It's happening too slow for my comfort, but people are waking up, one by one.
Better late than never I suppose
It's a small start. Switching from dem to repub is not enough to call someone "awake". Only when people:
Question the narrative
Realize government is a dangerous force that attracts psychopaths
Learn we are ruled by a devoted cabal
Understand our children are their currency
Suspect all institutions
Then we can welcome them to the awakening.
They will be awake when they realize the GOP is no better.
Knowing that will help wake some of them up.
"Wait, you're conservative, but you don't support the Republican party?"
A few individuals, not the RNC.
I live in a pretty blue area of NJ and I’ve started seeing more flags, a FJB flag (before the phrase got famous) and even my neighbor wears a Trump hat. It’s a super odd time to be alive and I love it
I know it sounds like an oxymoron but there are some tremendously red areas towards the beaches that are a pleasure to visit
You caught a special moment in that person's life.
For all those people who say a Trump was divisive, can you provide 3 examples please. Was it the time that 1). He started opportunity zones? 2). Was it the time he pushed prison reform to bring about fairness in sentencing, where blacks disproportionately receive longer prison sentences for menial crimes? 3). Was it the time Trump decreased the unemployment levels for blacks, Hispanics, and women? 4). Was it the time he kept his promise to Israel about moving the embassy 5.). Was it the time he spoke about America First? Not whites first. Not blacks first. Not illegals first? He said America (the country and all citizens first). 6). Was it the time he negotiated better trade deals between Canada, Mexico, China and also favored U.S. farmers and dairy farmers? 7). Was it the time he lowered taxes for all to encourage buying power. 8). Was it the time he encouraged businesses to return to the U.S. to encourage job growth for America? 9). Was it the time he negotiated Stay in Mexico so as not to promote unvetted and illegal entry?
These people are stupid. They think a wall means he wants to divide people. It’s our border! A boundary that should have been strong to begin! Have they never learned the importance of personal boundaries, as a screening method to ward off parasitic relationships? There are individuals, who when given any answer other than no, will deem our country weak and to be taken advantage! We do not want those people. We say no!
I've met a lot of people recently who KNOW things are not right and reside somewhere along the Based Spectrum. Even some of the lefties I know realize they've been lied to. In a way, Fox News has been the biggest inhibitor by throwing conservatives red herrings like Bernie Sanders and AOC, while diverting attention away from the Puppet Masters. My folks are totally conservative but trust Fox more than me!
I envy you pedes finding awake people. I'm still surrounded by buffoons driving around in their cars with the mask on.
We hope. https://youtu.be/Sh271FAVZ0o
It is a genuine morale boost to hear these anecdotes. Thank you to you, Young_Patriot and everyone that shares these stories.
Just wanted to remind people. Voting Republican doesn't necessarily mean voting American. Same deal with Democrat but that goes without saying.
