My wife headed out of town so I was on kid duty.
Had to take my youngest to her gymnastics class.
Was standing there watching her like the proud papa I am when another one of the dads noticed my shirt and started up a conversation with me.
Turns out he’s a California refugee who managed to escape.
For 45 minutes he told me about his awakening experience… without any prompting.
I’ve been at this for well over a decade now, folks, and this NEVER happens. NEVER.
People now want the red pills, and we’re here to distribute them. Congratulations, y’all, on making it this far. There are effectual battles to be won, for sure, but we are winning the war!
That is a great feeling! Curious... What is on your shirt that was so alluring?
Nothing, actually. It’s an old shirt I picked up at Goodwill that says “West Coast” on it. Since he just moved here from CA I think he thought I might be in the same boat as him.
Which, it turns out, I am.
But I didn’t instigate anything, subtly prod to see where he was coming from, suggest any topic that could lead to redpilling… it was like he NEEDED to talk about this stuff. And once he sensed I was sympathetic, it was off to the races. Great guy, great experience.
Ah, I see. Here in east Tennessee we are getting refugees from Chicago; mostly conservatives who no long felt at home in that place.
interesting, and makes me realize I never meet anyone who moves here from big cities. we're surrounded by cattle & corn, they'd probably find it 'boring' here.
Same here.
I grew up with a corn field in my back yard.
Or part of my back yard was a corn field.
Good times.
then you definitely know what I'm talking about especially in the spring and summer, so green and beautiful🌻
I think I want that boring place. We’re don’t live in the city... but want more quiet and less people. Where are you? I’ll add it to my candidate list
We moved to an unincorporated town of less than 300 people.
The whole county has about 12000. It's so nice. So nice.
Can recommend. Look into the Missouri Ozarks. It you can handle the humidity, you can get used to the rest of the region's quirks.
Melting a few weeks a year has been well worth experiencing actual freedom.
Humidity might kill it. We moved from Minnesota (humid) to Colorado (not humid) and my husband’s health has never been better. He used to get bronchitis at least 1x/year.... and now I can’t remember the last time he was sick.
The size of what you’re talking about is exactly what we want.
Missouri is one of those places that I believe is great for homesteading... so I wish it could happen. We aren’t desiring to go full homestead... but some chickens and a garden would be nice. Oh, and a garage big enough for several motorcycles, gun safes, and work benches
Unsolicited pro-tip: you dont wanna be keeping gun safes (presumably with guns inside) in a garage, much less a garage with a humid environment. First one's asking for a break-in (can be seen by any passerby from the street), and the second one is asking for constant cleaning due to rust/corrosion. Even the best safe out there is no bulwark against thieves or rust when out in the open.
Optimally: Climate controlled, in the house, will mitigate both problems caused by the garage solution. Alternatively, if you're willing to invest, a proper built underground bunker is also perfect.
I offer these things because I care about your safety, your family safety, and care of the firearms that will ensure both.
I've been looking online at properties in Lake of the Ozarks for about a month now. Very affordable. Very beautiful.
Great area. People are nice and it is nothing like the Netflix shows rendition. They do sell Pistachio ice cream there and people do brush their teeth.
yes, I can understand/could never live around a lot of people. sioux falls is our closest 'big' airport/city over 100,000 (SD has less than a million total population) we're close to the river/Lewis and Clark trail. it's beautiful here, the winters are rough, but think that keeps the spooks away.
watch the short video, lots of pretty scenery, and actually first time I've seen it/made me teary eyed; I love the Missouri River:) https://www.nps.gov/mnrr/index.htm
I said same thing about Minnesota... the cold keeps the riff-raff out! Now that I’ve moved to Colorado where I still get the seasons but it is so much more mild.... I realized I am the riff-raff!!
Forgot to mention. Gorgeous video. That is how I grew up, and those are my people. Blaze orange jackets at church on Sunday ❤️
Well as a hillbilly from Kentucky i find anything flat boring. But thats not a bad thing.
Before I realized I was a “conservative” I always dreamed of living in fields surrounded by no one. I enjoy socializing with people but I always wanted the peace and quiet of rural life. It never sounded boring to me even though I grew up in big cities with all the bells and whistles. I wonder if that’s a characteristic trait of conservatives.
Central NC here and we are getting them MI and NY mostly. I've met a few from DC region to. Everyone is right of center to hard right.
I live in MI myself, and moved to near the MI/IN border two years ago, to escape a blue city. It’s very rural and very conservative where I live, although I have to drive to the Kalamazoo leftist shithole to go to work every day. Most of the people I encounter and subtly attempt to redpill are essentially just exhausted from all of the shenanigans, and I reassure them that they’re just watching a scripted movie playing out. I tell them that when the SHTF to not be scared, and that everything will be glorious when it all plays out. I also reinforce the political moves that are taking place and urge them to vote based on America First, not useless wedge issues. It always seems to give them hope and hopefully causes them to do their own investigations into what I’m telling them.
As a side note, I have a license plate frame with NCSWIC and WWG1WGA printed on it, and I get the occasional headlight flash by someone behind me. I always give them an air-Q and a thumbs up 😀
Way cool.
North AL, S. TN we are getting refugees by the day. In this area are lots of engineers and scientists coming from wacky liberal states. Most are red pulled but there’s a more than I’d like to see arriving still claiming how backwards we are. HA, but your here, in backwards -ville because your state sucked.
It's one of the last kinds of bigotry that is tolerated these days, looking down on southerners because of our accent or our slower pace in doing things. Tell the they're being bigots and see their reaction. People who wouldn't dare use the "N" word feel free to sneer at us because we don't speak or hasten everywhere like they do. Because they're bigots.
Remind them that some of America's greatest leaders, writers, and inventors were people of the South.
P.S. Also remind them that it was Southerners who created the very states they so desperately wanted to move to. Our favorable tax laws, infrastructure, schools, and institutions were NOT built by people where THEY came from, but by the very people they want to criticize.... for not being like the people they escaped from.
We are looking to move and retire to TN but eastern side. Any thoughts?
Plenty. Of course it depends on what you're looking for. Never move TO any city, the cities everywhere will be chaotic in coming months. But look for red counties to move to. West Knox County is red, and the deeper west you go, the more affluent the neighborhoods get.... and peaceful and quiet. I know that neighboring counties have good quality of life, such as Blount Co., Loudon Co., Sevier Co., and Anderson Co. A small-ish city nearby is Oak Ridge, TN, the "secret city" that helped build the A-bomb in WWII, but is now a small southern town that is quite livable. If you're looking for large wooded acreage, that is also still available in east Tennessee; but the cost will be inversely proportional to the proximity of a large urban areas. The closer you choose to a city (Knoxville, Chattanooga, Johnson City) the greater the price of land.... and the further away, will be less expensive. I have relatives living some distance from Kingston TN, but up on a mountain with a gravel road, where they have a very nice log cabin that is fairly remote, and they love it there.
Good luck. If you get serious about moving here, at least in the Knox County area, I know two VERY good real estate agents who can help you.
Thank you we are seriously checking it out this February or March. I was originally looking into Florida but my husband doesn't want to do that. Someone mentioned Tennessee is very cheap to retire to and I've never been there and don't know much and I could use any bit of help to give me of areas that are cheaper to live I don't want to be by a city but I want to be close enough to get to the things that I need any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Sounds like the outer edges of Knox County is just what you're looking for. Quiet neighborhoods, we have all the amenities one could hope for. All the national food and home goods outlets -- Kroger, Publix, Food City, Home Depot, Lowe's, pizza chains and some very nice specialty restaurants. Chinese, Thai, Italian and home cooked blue-plate-special kinds of restaurants. We have a decent symphony orchestra and the Univ. of Tennessee has an excellent theater department that puts on all manner of theatrical productions.
The Knoxville area also has some of the best medical practitioners in the country; people from all around the region (eastern Kentucky, North Carolina, and across the state) come here for medical treatments. From Google:
Does Knoxville have good medical care? The US Census Bureau estimates there are 407 physicians for every 100,000 residents in the Knoxville, Tennessee area – twice the national average of 261 physicians per 100,000 people.
Utilities cost less here because of the TVA, and gas prices regularly run less than the national average.
And we have frequent gun shows that are always well attended. Tennessee has not state income tax and never will. Tennessee also became a Constitutional Carry state recently. Nearly everyone I know carries, and I like it that way.
I have traveled widely in Europe and the UK, and when I was in the USMC I got to see a lot of the world I might not have seen otherwise, mostly Central and South America. But east Tennessee is my home and I would never live anywhere else.
I would ask only one thing if you all move here. Don't ever vote for any Democrat in any future election. Thanks.
If you would like me to put you in touch with the real estate folks I mentioned, PM me directly.
Also, Tennessee has the best Moonshine on planet earth. Got a buddy whose brother lives just past Sevierville. He makes a Jalapeño shine. Shockingly good. Knoxville area is outstanding. Oak Ridge is stellar.
I used to live in Jonesborough, and you're right...anywhere outside the major cities of East Tn are great. I was close enough to Knoxville to be there in an hour and a half, Johnson City in 15 minutes. We vacation a lot in the Pigeon Forge area now and have grown to love it as well.
I don't know how to PM but yes I need to start looking at my options. Thanks.
I hope to be buying property in East Tennessee soon. I can't wait to leave the peoples republic where I live.
My Wife and I are Christians and very conservative. It's horrible living here and walking on eggshells. We constantly have to be very careful what we say in public.
Well I don't know where you're moving from, but East Tennessee has a broad range of differing demographics and we do have our liberal enclaves here (UT campus, etc.) but we somehow coexist. The extremely few "demonstrations" and protests I have seen over the years from the Left are usually poorly attended, made up of limp wristed soy boys and girls, and they then take their posters and awareness ribbons and go home. No riots here, we don't stand for that stuff.
I can pretty much say what I think without causing a disturbance. I play music with some liberal acquaintances, but they know where I stand on issues; it isn't a problem.
Another example: Probably caused by some transient homeless person who had come from a more "tolerant" state, they set up a camp of tents, shelters, and lean-to's on a major road in west Knox county, a couple of blocks from the interstate, I-40 / 75. They were there one day and into the night (one freak even put his tent right on the sidewalk up to the curb!!). The police moved in and by the next day THEY WERE GONE.... just plain gone. And by the next day all the debris and clutter they left was gone too. We simply don't tolerate LA or Portland type of homeless camps here.
There is a strong Christian community here and several good non-woke churches, both large and small. Good luck to you.
We're thinking of the Johnson City area because of the VA hospital there. I'm a retired veteran. I have an old friend from 4th grade (more like a brother, also a veteran) who lives in South Carolina. He vacations often in Tennessee. We want to build our retirement homes next to each other. He has a realtor working on properties for us.
As far as homeless go, all you need to do is tell them drugs are legal in Oregon, and welfare benefits for drug addicts are plentiful. Buy them a bus ticket to Portland and you're rid of them.
Heh! Well so far, just plain old good police work keeps them at bay.
Good luck, I think you'll find the Johnson City area quite nice....gentle rolling hills, lots of farmland. I went to the VA hospital many years ago (also a veteran) and they served me well.
You WILL NOT have that problem in East OR West Tennessee. Maybe around some of the commy enclaves in Nashville and Memphis but 99% of the state are your people. Kentucky is the same.
I forgot to thank you Fren. We will miss the scenic beauty of the only State both of us have lived in. It literally is becoming Soddom and Gemorrah here. It is no longer a place for Christians to live. We hope to make great new friendships with like minded people soon.
You will be shocked at the culture change. People open doors, and hold doors open for each other when your ‘out and about’. I probably say ‘hello’ or at least give a friendly smile to complete strangers 10-15 times a day. We wave to each other as we pass on the road in my neighborhood … everyone, whether you know them or not. Folks stop and help if you get a flat tire. Every 3d home has a US flag flying. Thats pretty much 95% of the southern red states.
I actually won't be shocked. That was what my little hometown was like prior to 1990. Vote by mail destroyed this state. I'm looking forward to going "home" again.
I love that - he felt connected to you even though he didn't know you. That is our true biology at work right there. We are humans and meant to feel connected to others, not unnaturally divided.
I think same as you..... they are worried if they made the right decision and NEED to talk to someone.
A lot like meeting a stranger who immediately tells you he got jabbed twice but no more.
Once people start to find out about things...the “coincidences” the connections between people, WEF, Gates, farmland, Covid, bioweapons...I mean there is a lot to discover and wonder about. And it’s so great to find someone who is doing the same digging. Swap sources and provide information. My first real red pill was “Out of Shadows”...I’ve been watching
The Kinsey Syndrome
And it has been very hard to watch...but very informative. Rockefeller funding him at the beginning, Kinsey speaking to lawmakers and lawyer groups/prison boards and assisted in reducing sentencing guidelines/pushing parole for pedophiles. Also evidence of Kinsey working with pedophiles andmolesters to show them how to keep notes scientifically of their abuse and the victims responses. Evidence of letters between an actual Nazi pedo and Kinsey. Alistair Crowley communication and fascination as well.
Just got a T shirt that says "Don't NY my NC". Pretty clever!
Big mama asking the important questions. :)
Thats awesome to hear!!
I have seen quite a few people lately that are comming out of the woodworks.
The silent majority is becoming decidedly non silent.
Was talking with spouse yesterday about his bosses who are finally waking up. My spouse is, too. He used to mock any sort of grand “conspiracies”, but now that they are coming out with the emails of their conspiracies, he is starting to actually listen.
I always wear several MAGA and TRUMP pins on the front of my shirt/jacket.sweatshshirt/vest when I'm out. It's wonderful how many people collar me and tell me how much they like my buttons. Even the checkout clerks at Wang-Mart love them!
That is awesome!! I live in a big city and I am not fleeing but around here my version of your story is watching die-hard woke NPC types slowly rubbing the sleep out of their eyes. feelsgoodman.png
The refreshingness of this type of interaction is amazing. Bolsters the spirit and energy for the day. And makes you think things aren’t as horrible as the media want you to think.
Thank you. A decade? Wow. I was red pilled the day after the 2020 election. I admire your stamina. 🇺🇸👍
I woke up to all this in 1984..... It's been a LONG row to hoe..... Red Pilled a few ppl along the way... Sadly my wife is still a left wing hold out..... I get a tiny red pill in there every once and a while, so there is still hope for her.....
is there hope really? sorry but I can't fathom how I'd coexist if my spouse was so obtuse and unwilling to trust me and my research. best of luck
Thanks, I do get in some good info for her to chew on, and sometimes after a while, she comes around and agrees... The past few years she has been so busy with her work, that she cant process as much as she did a few years back...... So it has been slow going on things like Ivermectin, etc.... "If it's not Peer reviewed, I don't even want to see it" Well I hit her good last week when she piped up about it, with the long list of Peer reviewed study's that was posted here the week before..... Ha Ha......
1984? Wow. Interesting date 👍 I red pilled my wife a year ago or so. She wasn't as difficult as I thought. We watch the X22 report together.
I wish I could git mine to watch X22 report, etc..... She is just too swamped to think about anything but work, so I only inject things when she commits on a subject.....
1984, was a HARD turning point in my life...... much less Orwell's book..... Now all these years later, and the 2 are not much different in outcome......
Awesome!!! What shirt were you wearing?
LOL - I didn’t realize putting that in the post was going to get the most attention.
See my response in the thread to another fren who asked the same question.
I’m glad people are asking this, though, because it drives home the point. The shirt is innocuous… but this guy WANTED, even NEEDED to talk about things that I would literally have been shunned for not even a year ago.
It’s a sea change out there. The tide has turned, at least in my little neck of the woods.
What did your shirt have on it that caught his attention?
See my reply to another fren who asked the same question.
Thank for posting this! I had an experience w a lovely woman (Central American—40 year Democrat voter) who was furious about the student loan thing and said she can’t believe what biden is doing...he’s destroying the country.
She didn’t go so far as to say she would vote for Trump, but to even be breaking up some of the voting block is a great thing.
It sucks because in moments like these I don't know where to begin. There's so much to cover that it all jumbles up in my brain.
Work from the future backwards.
Lots of people cannot see into the future. We are fortunate enough that we might be privy to a certain future.
Point out how certain CURRENT things are moving us to that future, then work backwards showing how Trump was trying to eliminate those things.
You can also try this:
You know, it’s funny, I used to not be able to talk to people about this stuff. For you to bring it up means something big must have happened. Tell me about it!
YAY!!! My niece and her husband are coming for a visit with their little ones in a few weeks. They are the only liberals in the family. Curious to see if anything political comes up. Hoping my youngest brother (52 yo but more like an entitled teenager) doesn't start his crap. He's conservative but instead of gently dropping red pills, he ramrods. Fingers crossed and sending prayers to God that he helps them awaken.
Sometimes they need the ramrod. Just saying. Not everyone is the gentle rebuke, nice conversation, hints will help type of people. .. personal experience.. lol
I'm the "let them come to the realization in their own time" type of person. Can drop red pills. You have to know your audience. Niece and her husband are both docs -don't think they're God - but proud of their intelligence.
Yep, definitely know your audience! Most people are definitely receptive to the kind word approach. Sounds like they would do well with the open ended question approach, so they have to come to conclusions for themselves. I'll say a prayer for your family and your brother, "ramrod" lol.
Thanks so much!

A wonderful WWG1WGA story!
Sorta happened to me too yesterday. I was telling my golf buddies about why I was putting my boy in Christian school and one, who self-describes as "liberal AF," says "I completely agree with you'" when we got talking about the gay agenda in schools. It's happening
What message was on your shirt?
Nothing can stop what is coming isn’t just some quirky catch phrase. Once the good guys got the presidency the tidal wave of truth could no longer be held back
I would LOVE to Facebook Go get stuffed. But this is why I stay on it. My profile is public. And I am always posting something that makes the normies comment. Most of the time, questions. My niece and her 7 kids just move back to our Southeast Town. She thought it was going to be a utopia out there. Turns out it was a hell hole. Now where she lives, it was very nice. But she said 8 minutes down the road and people are shitting on sidewalks and needles everywhere. That was a major red pill for her. She is progressive. But a common sense one.
Open wide red pills 💊 incoming!!! 😂
Nice. I like to hear CA waking up.
well what was his awakening experience then??
It is pretty specific and I don’t want to share it here, but the thing that tipped him over the edge is vaccine related.
