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.
So this may sound weird, but my old grandfather of 80 who has been a die hard republican his whole life and was a hard core republican jumped ships from Trump a couple months ago. I am not 100 on why he decided the Ron was the man and not Trump. We were at a family function talking about something with T4ump and he got down right almost aggressive the he would vote DeSantis over Trump. He is a fox news guy through and through. Even after the 2020 steal he admitted that Trump had it stolen and fox was not trusted. The sad thing is he never left fox or the newspapers. I concluded that he feel into the propaganda again and believes it like its religion. I tried to send him alternatives and step him into the idea that Trump is not finished by a long shot. Sadly many conservatives are normies in the propaganda. I know it doesn't sound like a big deal to many, but we saw eye to eye on most till this. The tell a vision or tell lie vision is really screwing good peoples minds.
My old parents the same. It's Fox News, I'm tellin ya.
Have family members speaking the same way. I believe the attitude comes out of frustration that we have been doing all the right things to move the country back (on personal levels) and are not yet seeing the results WE'D like. Humans must have their fall guy. Add to this that we have become media junkies as well - albeit most non MSM. There are loud podcasters with large followings throwing Trump under the bus, as well as I understand FOX (not a FOX fan). We need to show ourselves to be more measured in response, not copying the lemmings on the left who go after the next shiny thing on the 4am talking points.
Honestly, I don't think this should even be in the limelight right now - too much else we need to focus on!
Doesn't sound weird. Fighting propaganda takes a lot of energy, and the older we get the less energy we have to expend, on average. It's always easier to just go along with whatever the magical picture box says. That's why sites like this one are critical. Here all the BS gets parsed and torn apart from multiple angles by multiple people to get to motivation, the all-important why of news habbenings. I think your grandfather will eventually come back around. It's early yet. 🐸
