Yup. Trying to think of how to approach THAT convo...aka the VAX. I get ONE chance not to sound insane. It's been on my mind for days. I'm known as a moderate. I have to think of something to save everyone. I need to see if my generation is lost or not.
Should I fully play the moderate card? "I hate both sides but this government is something else. I don't trust the secretive Tuskegee 2.0. bs going on and people appearing in Facebook jail. Ivermectin helped me when I had COVID... Just sayingg" something funny you know?
Try to keep it in the middle Bud. My Trump supporting friends started freaking out and left the group chats we had for several years (I now realize that I overwhelmed them all with reality). They are programmed to put their heads in the sand right away if you challenge their indoctrination.
The awakening process can't come from just you. It will take time, but other folks in their lives will eventually help make things "click". My wife went through a similar process 2 years ago as a co-worker helped expose her to the same things I was observing and trying to explain to her.
Fast-forward to this weekend; an older couple said they were VERY suspicious of these train accidents and the gubmint assistance for Ukraine but not Ohio. I told them a year ago to not trust the news and don't get any more shots. They were truly curious how I know so much on all these topics.
Then one of my friends that left the group chat sent me some recently surfaced info on the C|A. I only responded with the JFK meme where he said he wanted to splinter them into a thousand pieces.
Right there on the Facebook

Tell the truth
Stand on the truth
What you hear in secret, speak boldly for all to hear. Stand on the truth.
