I know there are some people who will never get it but I fear there are way more than what we think. We are liked minded here but are we living in a bubble here like DC and Hollyweird but in our own way?
Today I was invited to a brunch at a good friends home. There were about twenty people there. They are black and they are very Christian and loving people. There was only one other white person there. I am explaining this so you understand the mindset.
I never talk politics around them because I am positive they are liberal Democrats.
In the living room they had on MSNBC so I was definitely not sitting in there. As I was walking through they were reporting on Fani Willis being able to stay on the case and they were all excited.
I was sitting in the kitchen with my friends sister and brother. The people at the party are on their late 60's to mid 70's.
I don't recall the conversation but the sister said to her brother who was talking to me I don't like to talk politics. She said to me once I said something to my family and it got really ugly so I don't talk about it anymore.
The brother asked me if I like Trump. I stated as I was laughing I don't really want to talk about this. He said well are you and I said yes I like Trump because I think he has the people's best interests at heart.
He said he's a racist. He said did you know his father's a racist? I said to him I don't know about his father but Trump did a lot for the black community. He said he does that for show. Then I asked him have you ever heard Biden when he was young what he said about the black people? He said he never said anything. I said there's plenty of video but there and you are never going to see that on TV. I said you do know the Democrats where the party of the Klu Klux Klan. He said no they are not. I said how about Robert Byrd he was the head of the Klu Klux klan. I said you do know why the Civil War was fought because Lincoln freed the slaves and the Southern Democrats wanted to keep their slaves. He shook his head no.
He said you kniw what MAGA means. I said yes it means make America great again. He said you know why Trump says that? I said yes. He said he wants to return to slavery. That is what he means. I said no he wants to make America unified and great be being independent. He wants us to be strong and bring manufacturing back to be independent. I told him thus hads absolutely nothing to do with slavery.
I said you better do some research to really find out what's going on not what you're being told because the media is lying to you. His sister said this is why I don't bring it up because everybody yelled at me. Then I asked him I just want you to think about this why does everybody hate this man so much that is in the government.
Then his sister brought up to me about Ukraine and she couldn't understand why Putin wanted to hurt everybody. I told her I had some insight in that since the girl I work with was born and raised in Russia and came here when she was in her twenties and her family is still in Russia.
I told her the reason he went into Ukraine was because the Russians that were there wanted Putin to save them. I told her that there were biolabs there that he destroyed. I said she is not a fan of Putin but she is backing him 100% on this. The media wants to make Putin the boogeyman but I told her the US government is involved in all that is going on in Ukraine so they just want to blame it on Putin.
She said now I'm glad I met somebody that could tell me more than what I was listening to on the news. I told her the worst thing to do is listen to any of the news stations because they all lie.
The one thing I noticed is no one brought up anything about Trump's affairs or anything like that it was all about him being a racist.
This is how effective the media is in brainwashing the masses.
Thought you would want to know my experience today to give you room for thought.
THIS IS A GREAT POST!
My mothers 3 brother, all as white as sour cream, say that same dumb shit. They are over the top Trump haters. We were playing golf last summer and I jumped into that shark tank. I asked them to give me ONE … just ONE example of Trump being racist. Instead of any example, I got the standard Marxist defense: “if you do t get it by now you never will”. I AGAIN asked for them to educate me because I truly didn't know, and just want to know what it is they know that I don't. CRICKETS. Instead they wanted to avoid the topic altogether.
It is truly the demonic media that keeps the robots basic programming from any reality updates. That, and the deep fear of cognitive dissonance and then having to admit they were suckered.
*just one example. And that right here is evidence these people don't have basic intelligence. If all they can do is parrot there's no saving them. Because ego gets in the way and they think they're superior. You can't fix stupid
It blows my mind that people don't know the dem party is responsible for all the racial bs in our history. I knew that back when I was in elementary school. And the big "switch" theory.....lol. Remind them that Carter, Clinton and Obama all carried the south well after this imaginary "switch" and that Strom Thurmond was really the only one to switch parties back then.
With liberals, I don’t think it’s enough to say “the media”. It’s better to say “the corporate media”. They’ve been brainwashed to think all corporations = bad, so box them in with that. Keep tying their beliefs and opinions back to corporations. Bonus points if you do your research ahead of time and can tell them which conglomerate owns their favorite network, and everything else they own. Liberals tend to get submissive when you do this, because what are they going to do? Defend corporations? They have no talking point for this.
Another good tactic is to take the high ground and point out that the corporations seek to divide us for ratings and clicks. Keep going back to this. It boxes them and neutralizes their ability to argue with you. And it short circuits their trained hatred because if they start losing it and being mean, it literally proves the point that these corporations don’t care about us, and want us fighting for their own wealth and power.
The only move they have at this point is to attack FoxNews and say that’s a corporation too. At that point, agree and amplify. Throw Fox under the bus as another corporate conglomerate that’s doing the exact same thing. This really disarms them. They might try to drag you down into the mud to argue over the latest corporate media outrage, but don’t take that bait. Keep going big picture. The people are more unified than they want us to be and it’s these corporations that want us divided.
So far I’ve had good success with this strategy. You don’t even have to get bogged down with Trump. Get them questioning the media and that helps us. Get them questioning their hysteria and outrage and that helps us. Often times at this point a liberal will want to show they aren’t a slave to these corporations and will start offering their own small red pills. Like maybe men competing in women’s sports, or Booster number 7. Now you’ve got them disagreeing with some small portion of the globalist agenda and that’s a start.

Brilliant! I believe this would actually be the most effective way to make a Bernie bro's head explode. I don't know if it would work on right wing sheep though. Unfortunately, I know very many conservative people that refuse to wake up.
And to the original question OP asked? Yes, I believe we are in a bubble. Hopefully it's growing everyday though. I see conservative personalities becoming more popular everyday, and I know a lot of people here are in those comment sections nudging conservative thinkers to wake the rest of the way up.
Thank you. You understand what I was trying to convey.
I truly believe he listened and maybe he will do some research.
Actually I spent the entire afternoon talking with him. We ate together and shared many things. He isn't a dumb person. He is into to herbal supplements and is awake in many ways.
He was talking about them disrupting the internet but he wasn't quite there as 5o why.
Thanks Fren.
