Oh well, right? I have a full blown, pussy hat crocheting, Trump hating cousin as well. Our last phone conversation was years ago, when she got shrill on the phone demanding answers to how I could possibly support Trump when (bla bla bla).
We used to hang out, but kids don't have political opinions, and they generally don't give a shit about world events. We grew up, though, and we've apparently learned different things: she from her trusted MSM, and me from Q drops, bakers and Anons (on VOAT mostly, back then).
This educational process has included a whole lot of letting go. Relationships, our ideas about how this world runs and our own place in it. It's all forever changed. I would rather know, frankly. Ignorance may be bliss to some, but never for very long. Eventually, we have to see with unvarnished clarity just exactly how deeply humanity has been used and abused.
Knowing what is true is one thing... Accepting it is another. In a world where escaping reality is considered normal, embracing reality with sober clarity is rare indeed.

And some may never choose to see.
~sigh I miss VOAT!
Me too. Ahhhh the good ole days when bakers baked crumbs and there were Q drops almost daily.
True but all the crumbs led us to this present day. We are here!
Those were exciting times. I miss them, too. But I think even bigger things are almost here.
I seem to recall a movie about that...
sigh.
Next time just tell her y'all's divisions are all a result of her believing the MSM. No other cause, just that.
Very well articulated!
Brilliant observation. Thank you.

"The matrix has you, Neo"
Ignorance isn't bliss. It's dangerous.
Start your redpill comments with something along the lines of "I used to believe that too" (even if you never did believe).
This puts you on more even ground in their eye. Gives them a way to save face but still listen.
