What is this thread all about?
Just a place for general discussion. A place to unload whats on your mind and talk about anything - personal, health, help needed, achievements, daily highs and daily lows, theories, predictions and what have you.
Does not need to be Q related.
My dad is getting older and being in the "the news wouldn't lie to me" Baby Boomer* generation, he soaks it (the "news") all up. He has always been a Republican/Conservative, and even worked for the county election board where he lives. I tried telling him and my mom about the c19 farce when it began. They didn't listen and got two shots. He believes 1M people died from the virus itself. Now with the Russia/Ukraine ordeal, I see how much of a normie he is. I sent him a meme with Zeleskyy and the caption "I made $1,000,000,000 working from home. Ask me how." He hasn't responded. He normally replies to memes quickly, but either this made him think I was a kook, or he didn't want to think about it.
He reads a daily newspaper and watches nightly news. He always has. He's a very trusting person and a preacher and that is being exploited. The programmers are banking on Christian meekness and thinking of it as a weakness they can manipulate. I see how much more grit my mom has in some ways compared to him. I am a good mix of them both.
*Yes, I realize not all BB fall into this way of thinking.
“He's a very trusting person and a preacher and that is being exploited.”
Yes, the honesty —-> gullibility pipeline has been exploited by the hoaxers.
I also think there’s a bit of inductive virtue-signaling going on with some people (not necessarily your dad), maybe somewhat subconsciously. ‘If I’m gullible, that means that I’m probably honest’. Being distrusting could be interpreted as projecting their own untrustworthiness, so people wore masks and took jabs to show that they didn’t distrust the hoaxers.
I agree with your assessment.
