So my SLF's side gig is helping out at an Asian nail salon (she's Vietnamese). She is a super patriot and of course has had lots of um differences of opinion with coworkers and clients the last 3 years.
I asked today if there's been a change in tone, like with gas prices, are people coming around that used to hate Trump now hating Biden etc, and she said it's actually almost everyone, dramatic and near-total reversal. People can't believe how dumb they were, how bad it is, how bad Biden is, they were wrong to hate Trump etc. She said even hard leftists that she's argued with are admitting things.
I find this report super-encouraging as it seems like so many normies just aren't getting it or you can't tell, but people have to be waking up without letting on is what I think is happening - in an environment like that they feel comfortable blabbing (there's probably a name for this, I can't count how many rather personal things I've heard in a neighboring barber chair for example).
And it wasn't just the report but when I asked the question it wasn't just like "yeah" but "OH YEAH. EVERYONE."
This is great
Salons are public opinion clearinghouses
AND HERE'S THE BEST PART....
For every one of these you hear about, there are 1000 more that you don't
The conversion is a ONE-WAY street: literally zero awakened are choosing to go back to sleep and think inflation, money laundering, democrats, and child trafficking are the coolest. Our side is growing by the minute, their side is hemorrhaging support.
