Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
My normie and unawakened friends are beginning to think that we are heading to a precipice moment. I remind them that they are going to get a look over the edge that they are going to be very uncomfortable with. Then I keep asking them, what is it going to take for them to start demanding change?
One of my known lefty friends texted me last weekend, seemingly drunk, but he was really worried that if DeSantis runs he will “take votes away from Trump” and was outraged about that. He went in a tirade about what a “bigot nazi” DeSantis is. I had to explain how the Primary election works. He had no idea it worked that way. I don’t know which I was more shocked about- his retardation or the fact he was worried about Trump votes. LOL.
This is like asking someone what they would do with a million dollars. The answer they give is never ever same as what they actually do in that moment - both with a million dollars and with the precipice.
So the real answer for "what is it going to take them ...?" - to feel like they are falling into the precipice head first and they are about to die. When they somehow miraculously get saved (for that is how it will feel for many) - then and only then will they demand changes.
Good point, but I don't think the actual answer was the goal of his question. To make them think about the situation and how bad it could reasonably get, to plant that seed in their minds, I believe was the true aim.
