What a day, friends! A year ago, none of the kids would even discuss the vax, or the Deep State, or censorship, or election fraud— but today was a new day. I’m still reeling from it all.
We were visiting three of our kids today in another town and one had been a staunch democrat and angry at any prior attempts to set him straight. The other two were a tiny bit more open but uninterested in discussing anything in relation to the truth.
But there we were, sitting out on the patio on a beautiful day down south, and boom! Everyone started talking about Elon, whom their age group adores. (One even has a Tesla.)
And they were all on board, suddenly, with all of the topics—-vax, censorship, election fraud, the Deep State… and I was wondering for a minute what planet I was on. The one intellect of the kids follows every word Elon writes, so his opinion carries weight with the others. They are starting to get it!
I added a few things—-how I’ve been trying to tell them this for years, and also there’s a lot more to learn, and while it was hard to discuss the vax—-since they’ve all had it—the conversation was a 180-degree turn from just a month or a year ago.
I laughed with them and said, “jeez, I guess we needed Elon to wake you up. You all thought I was nuts!”
Anyway, I have to credit Elon for this one, although, who knows, maybe I planted the seeds. It doesn’t matter.
They’re waking up!
Sometimes it takes a third party. People get into it with spouses/ kids/ parents because the arguments are more about power plays - not the topic at hand. They might have issues with how the messenger delivers the message. As much as I ❤️ mr. ceegeege, sometimes his delivery on certain topics could use some work. I will reflexively respond to that, not the topic, only to realize later "damn it, he was right!"
However we get there....
Sort of like the reaction to "mean tweets"?
