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!
I know one person who moved the opposite direction. He was a conservative republican when we were kids. Normal family. Church on Sunday but not hyperreligious. Now he's 38 and works as a lobbyist for some progressive company. Very "orange man bad" kind of a guy now. That's the only person I know like that though. He went to Michigan State and got brainwashed.
Conservatives can become liberals, especially due to college brainwashing, falling in love with a liberal, or entering a very liberal profession.
But I've never heard of anyone going through the excruciating process of awakening - realizing people we trusted, admired, and supported are evil, corrupt, child rapists and traffickers who are dreaming of genociding billions of us and fully enslaving the survivors - and then shifting back to libtard. Granted, OP's adult children don't seem to have gone full Q yet, but their eyes have been opened to the fact that the mainstream narrative has been propaganda.
I agree. We can't unknow what we know.
Almost everyone I work with went to MSU. And to the man, each took the vaxx without a fight. This is even after I put myself out there as the lightening rod, and volunteered to shepherd (apt word) them through the process.
When your livelihood is tied to the machine, you become very adapt at ignoring the sounds of the grinding of the bones and cries of the victims…
If family life indoors was strict, that could have been a contributing factor. That could be one reason for people to have a wide swing from one side or extreme to another.
