We had dinner last night with friends we met a year ago. They are intelligent and very religious he is a deacon in their church. They are very kind snd funny and a delight to be around.
We never ever discussed politics because we are white and they are black. We went to their Baptist church and we could feel the leanings of politics. We do however discuss the divide and bigotry.
Yesterday we were discussing how much hate everyone has. His wife stated I cant believe what comes out of MTG mouth. I never heard such hateful words from someone. She needs thrown out.
I smiled and looked at her and said hello have you ever met Hillary Clinton.
She stated oh no she never said anything like that. She never conducts herself in that manner. I insisted she does and she commented I would like to see that.
My husband stated she plays to her audience. I added did you see her when she went to a church in the south and all of a sudden she is speaking with a black southern accent?
They looked at me like I was crazy.
We ended the discussion.
My husband and I at that moment realized that people believe the news only. There is so much brainwashing and in no way are people awake. Nothing on the news tells these people anything.
The whole experience yesterday has upset me because I really believed people were awake.
My two cents.
I have people in my life that have a similar world view. Smart awesome kind people, but over the last few years they've shown themselves to be blind to these subjects. "Why would the news and politicians lie?" They believe their sources, we believe ours....the truth? Truly hard to say if im being real because shit flies both ways. They have their narrative, we have ours. No matter what, its a movie. I have a hard time with the thought process "your suit and tie sources are wrong, but my suit and tie sources are correct." I try not to think like that because its ALL bullshit
It is very hard sometimes. I want to shake people sometimes.
I have children that are over 50 years old. A couple of them have super high IQ's. One day several years ago I was trying to explain about Q to one son and his wife. They had asked. While talking and trying to explain, I began to "hear myself" and I sounded like a "nut job". It wasn't that I was inaccurate. But it made me stop and think about "red-pilling people. So, I learned to give little bits of info at a time. Not try and explain the whole thing, because we can choke them on TRUTH if we aren't careful. We are a kind, fun-loving family so I have chosen to keep things light. I kid one of my sons a lot. We had told him that one day he was going to KNOW we had been correct and that at that time I expected him to crawl across the floor, kiss my feet and apologize for not believing me. As I said we are a kind and fun-loving family, so he laughed and agreed. Now occasionally I just say "better get your knees in shape for that crawl across the floor..... it won't be long now." THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT NOW HE IS MUCH MORE OPEN AND KNOWS STUFF THAT HE WON'T EVEN ADMIT HE HAS HEARD. PTL Keep it light and let the Lord do the convincing. After all, it is HIS PLAN.
Thank you for the very good advice.
