Do they openly embrace their normiehood or are they not really aware this term exists for them? I don't do social media besides this page so don't know how it works.
Agree with this 100%. They strive to fit in and do what they're told by media, politicians, etc. They blindly trust and seem unmotivated or uninterested in digging for truth or questioning things.
This. I have a coworker who is completely inline with the Ukraine war and Zelenskyy idolism. Doesn't doubt the MSM narrative at all. Doesn't think about it.
I think they're oblivious. They don't use critical thinking at ALL. They are accustomed to doing what they are told and to stay in line. Watch MSM and whatever is said, they do. Normies do not think outside the box. And yes, I believe they feel like they are "normal" but don't call themselves "normies." They think critical thinkers and those who question things are paranoid, conspiracy theorists and "not normal" (bc they are "normal" in their mind)
Probably. Or they would interpret the term "normie" as some sort of insult. I have found that many normies can be combative bc anything (like an idea or perspective) that derails their 'tow the line' mentality triggers them a bit as their brains just can't or won't allow them to see another path
Yes, they absolutely do! I work with one who openly said, "well, they call me a sheep because I follow everything the government tells me, and they would be right! I don't believe the government has bad intentions towards me." Let that sink it.
Yeah, had a former colleague that way; one of my reports. He was former military and when the vaccinations came around he was like “put that shit in both arms”.
My brother is a brainwashed hard lib. He thinks Trump is super corrupt and can't wait for him to be put away. He trusts the government and believes everything on CNN. He thinks I'm nuts.
He is is like one who is in a cult. Maybe leftism IS a cult.
Had a conversation with a normie going about their daily lives. By the look on his face he was either distressed or thought I was crazy. Either way I gave him an earful.
They do not know they are normies. If an "awake" person walked into my house and saw my giant Trump sign on the courtyard wall they usually say, "I love your sign!" We then have a long discussion about all things Trump and compare notes on the world and what we think is really going on. We are instantly connected... no matter who they are, from the plumber to someone selling solar panels. Normies come in my house and pretend they don't see the sign, even if they are FAMILY. Crickets... it's kind of funny, really.
In my family the "normies" dont ignore anything. They constantly try to stir up anything they can. For example making my Dad change his Trump hat before going out in public. Removing the Trump bumper sticker off Dads Gater. Of course they don't dare confront any of the patriots that can defends themselves.
The Yes. My wife focuses on the present. A lot of this is just her personality. She simply chooses to block out all of the noise. It’s a willful ignorance. Ignorance is indeed bliss. And since weapons grade propaganda is used by the media, there is little that can wake her up. Though my wife is smart, she’s not intuitive. She must be shown. One of her preferred phrases is, “I see how it works”. Thus there is little to nothing to get her to question her reality. The very first part of me waking up was to continue to see the MSM lambaste Trump. My intuition said, “why are they doing that?, things are going well.” I was hanging out on The Donald a few years before I dug into Q.
This would normally be a great trait of a wife. I know a lot of husbands have to deal with their wives constantly digging up the past. This NEVER happens with my wife. My wife wakes up fresh every morning; even if we have had a fight at night. (usually due to us both drinking)
The No. Since my wife doesn’t care to “dig”, then there is no way for her to understand what is really going on. Thus she thinks I’m an “anti-vaxxer” and that Q is a cult.
Damn, that would be terrible having your spouse not be on team Patriot with you. It’s bad enough just dealing with the normies, including family in my neck of the woods, but it would be damn lonely without my husband on board.
Interesting. The term probably just bounces off, unperceived. I know people like this as well. Content, not too concerned with the current state of the world. It can be good as well.
They strive to fit in, more than they strive for the truth.
Just like supporting the most popular sports team....

But the label of "normie." If they embrace it? Everyone is unique and special, just like everyone else. Or so the saying goes.
The right wing normals would like the term.
Left wing like to think of themselves as revolutionary or radical. Makes sense to them even though the govt and media share the exact same positions.
Which way is the wind blowing?
Am I on the winning team?

Welp, I can tell you the libtards in my life don’t know they are libtards.
Ditto here
Yes. They think being ‘normal’ is a good thing.
...or they are so stupid that they don't recognize their own ignorance.
This. I have a coworker who is completely inline with the Ukraine war and Zelenskyy idolism. Doesn't doubt the MSM narrative at all. Doesn't think about it.
Yes, this is the average person I know. Do not doubt or question the narrative. Follow the crowd. No critical thinking skills.
Sad...so many trust the MSM to inform and influence them.
That's what I don't know. Whether they wear the normie label as a badge of honor or are oblivious.

Thanks. Makes sense. Probably hear the term normie and think it applies to the next guy.

Probably both or a mixture of both...
These people ARE stupid.
I think it is a question of character.
Yes, they absolutely do! I work with one who openly said, "well, they call me a sheep because I follow everything the government tells me, and they would be right! I don't believe the government has bad intentions towards me." Let that sink it.

Can't wait to see all of their heads explode when the Truth comes out! 🤯
You, me and everyone else here can't wait.
That's for sure...my husband believes most everything I tell him but He will NOT discuss 9/11 or Ukraine... cognitive dissonance.
My brother is a brainwashed hard lib. He thinks Trump is super corrupt and can't wait for him to be put away. He trusts the government and believes everything on CNN. He thinks I'm nuts.

Yes and no if my wife is an example.

It’s hard and is indeed lonely.
At least my brother is awake.

My wife fits this to an absolute “T”.
