Frens - what is the mood of the normies you know at the moment? I have been out in the wild only twice since July 13, both times with normies.
DAY ONE: I spent a long day with a vaxxed friend with TDS, who doesn't know anything about my beliefs. Not once did she mention DJT, July 13, or the election. My interpretation (and I am speculating) - she wishes they had succeeded but is too diplomatic to say this out loud.
DAY TWO: I spent another long day with a vaxxed friend who knows where I stand politically, but claims to "not be political." He snapped at me when I mentioned DJT over coffee and, when I described myself as a "Trump woman," proceeded to have a hissy fit. Later in the day I mentioned how I was treated because I was unvaxxed, and had loved ones murdered by the bioweapon. His response? "That's all over now!" (as in nothing to see here).
Both stories are anecdotal, however, it feels to me like the normies have made ZERO PROGRESS in waking up.
Any field reports frens?
Most don't care. They're totally fed up and are in full blown denial - don't know what's going on and don't want to know what's going on.
Of that batch, there's die hard conservatives that will vote T no matter what, but will no longer engage in any conversation regarding either politics OR any kind of DECLAS or revelation about what is really happening - for instance, no interest in watching The Greatest Show on Earth etc.
Equally fatigued by all the political theatre are traditional leftys that turned off "windoze updates" in regards to what's been going on with lawfare, facts vs MSM bs, and they're still running on the old programming/paradigm of orange man racist etc . It's hard to say which way they'll go... because they just don't give a shit anymore (not that they really cared all that much anyway) - they just want it all to be over.
A lot of people just "want all the political shit to be over" - don't have faith in voting or that they have any power to change - but admit change does need to happen - SO ...We very well may need a scare event a la precipice to wake these people up. I wouldn't categorize them as the 4-6%, but they're clinging HARD to their menagerie of distractions from race cars and real estate to constant face in the honky tonk matrix via phone or PC...
Ignorance is bliss... but to many it's a survival mechanism. I don't think many know how to cope... and not talking baseboards here ...they just want to "get back to normal" AND fear about vaxx damage, suddenly and the looming possibility of instant death is definitely on their minds ...
" Don't know what's going on and don't want to know what's going on." That's it in a nutshell. They all know shit is not right but don't want to venture outside their bubble. They're the dog meme of this is OK with fire all around him. Furthermore, they know everything is upside down, and they see it in gas and food prices, but they just put their heads down and pay up with very little complaining. They're beaten dogs at this point. They're starting to figure of the jab was a scam and a few of them are vaccine injured and 2 people I worked with are dead because of it. Likewise, they know I didn't get the jab and was able to get an exemption. I really think that makes them so mad because I stood up, and they cowered to keep their jobs while I was fully prepared to lose mine. I think the normies are keeping their heads far up their ass's right now. They don't want to know the truth because, like the famous line goes, They can't handle the truth.
Vivid description. This is very close to what I see too.
I DO NOT understand the apathy about the state of our world and its future.
Yeah, zero progress with my normie friends, although they are probably the hardest to reach, white liberal female teachers. Only one ( Christian) in the group denounced the assassination attempt, the others didn’t react at all. Im avoiding spending time with them and rarely comment in group chats anymore.
Same,.at some point I regard them as NPCs who aren't programmed to wake up ever.
As mentioned above - my theory is they have memory-holed July 13 because they are so annoyed he is still alive.
You’re probably correct. I did bring the attempt up in group chat when it happened and pointed out that this is what happens when msm demonizes a person. Not a peep from them. Cowards or assholes.
The level of mind control/programming we are up against is staggering.
Yeah, they’re the only walking dead I know of. I hold out hope for two of them. The rest of the people I encounter are Trump supporters.
No offense but you need new friends. Some people won't ever see it or don't want to admit they were wrong and we can't save everyone. I know a guy that will fight you tooth and nail against Trump with extreme TDS, I consider him lost and have said so to him, I'm glad we're not that good of friends to be honest. My real friends know what's up, we keep each other informed as I was able to wake them up, thankfully. I'm in Alabama.
I certainly need new friends.
Easier said than done.
Some of us are very isolated, and wish we were not.
If I win the lotto I will move to a red state.
The Normies around here are all Conservatives. They are in "See No Evil Hear No Evil Speak No Evil" mode. They all know something is amiss and are afraid to face whatever that may be. Even Faux News is frightening them.
TDS will not wake up. Actual normies (90% of the population) are waking up.
Your figures are interesting. Nearly everyone I know here in Ireland is either pro-MAGA (a small number), or has some form of TDS (the vast majority). You are ostracized if you are openly pro-Trump.
Ireland!🐸 my dream vacation, I want to see the area around Knowth. And yes, my experience in the upper Midwest is also not what I expected. many Trump supporters, but still A lot of TDS. seems to be the ones that are vaccinated, suppose they don't want to admit they were fooled.
Aw, come see us some time! Would love to have you here.
Thank you for the field report. Are you in a rural, urban, or suburban area?
in a small midwestern city, our closest 'big' city is Sioux Falls. red states & lots of conservatives, but still quite a few liberals around.
we're 'Midwest nice' here, so it's a 'Live & let live' kind of attitude.
Yep... have family and friends in the north... SERIOUS TDS. It WON'T wash off!
Rappaport woke up..kinda
Kek. Can't wait for Jimmy Dore to cover Rappaport's flipping!
The normie in my office was trending towards Trump until they switched out Biden for Harris. Now she seems relieved she doesn't have to vote Trump cause Biden was so unacceptable. Conversely, the "no tax on tips" and "no taxing social security" DOES in fact seem to give her pause. ~~ (Dang, normies are such simpleton NPCs.)
The vast majority are catatonic. They maybe awear of some of what's happening but remain asleep to the who or why and most don't care that much, they'll make up the economic pressure by screwing the next guy over. Modern day distractions are a hell of a Drug.
Indeed. Bread & circuses is ALL I see in Ireland.
Bread & Circuses, laced with a strong shot of TDS.
They are fed up. Def voting Trump and they do not trust the media at all anymore. Going pretty smooth here
Where do you live - or if you don't wish to say, can you describe the demographic of your local area?
Good ole Music City!!! In Tenn
With individuals, often it's a case of drip ... drip ... flood of awareness.
But in general I see more flags and Trump signs than in 2016 or 2020, and they were very scarce in my deep blue part of Lost Angeles. A few weeks ago I saw a sidewalk pop-up stand selling Trump merchandise in Brentwood, which literally shocked me. So, more boldness is becoming apparent.
And I see a lot less Democrat signs than before. I like to think they're shying away from their presumption of popular support, but maybe they just can't keep up to date with the Biden - Kamala switcheroo.
But maskers are entrenched in their beliefs, and they're unashamed even as it becomes increasingly ridiculous. They seem to relish their small fraternity. I'm hoping the next DNC Kamala-to-NotKamala switch will call their bluff and make then fold. Let's see what happens.
Interesting report fren.
I wonder how many people in your area self-censor, rather than expose themselves to the risk of thuggery and ostracization that comes with openly supporting Trump, especially in a blue city.
Oh, most people self-censor. Talking politics is rude, doncha know? Most people don't even try until after engaging on easier things like the price of eggs. But I see that changing, bit by bit.
Here in Ireland, many people talk openly against Trump. They don't consider this rude (I do). It's like talking about the weather or the football match. They ASSUME everyone listening agrees with them.
The only ones who self-censor are pro-Trump conservatives.
That's where MSM puts a heavy thumb on the scale of public speech. It gives a sense of entitlement to whoever goes along with the current push.
Good to push back. I can feel the change here, but it's subjective.
Hope that feeling makes its way to your bonny shores soon.
Normies in my area see through the democrat bullshit and are convinced the dems will get away with stealing the election again.
Business as usual in CA.
But now Trump supporters are wearing their MAGA hats every-other-day since the assassination attempt.
and even tho Biden is being replaced;
it's still useful for me to say, "Let's Go Brandon" while I'm at work.
No friends to speak of....only really interface with my severe TDS dad and stepmom. Never had a real good relationship with either but over the last few years did what I could to red pill them. They happily voted for Biden in 2020 and said they were voting for Biden this year too. When Biden bowed out, step mom said they were actually excited to vote for Harris. Totally blew my mind. She says 'most women are scared in the US' about Trump as prez regarding abortion. I said the only women screaming about abortion are old nasty hate-filled women no man would want to have sex with anyway...(Kathy Griffin/Rosie O' types....). Said I directed it at her which I absolutely did not, and she told me to never contact her again. My dad is a complete cuck too so he takes her side. May not be speaking to them again. I frankly could care less at this point.
An impossible situation fren, and heartbreaking. Happening everywhere. I pray ALL these broken relationships will be bridged.
Your male friend who snapped at you and threw a hissy fit sound gayy..
the 3 normiie triple jabbed close friends I got are too busy going to doctor and making appointments all year long to pay attention to politics now.
unfortunately people sometimes hide their TDS. Some are just clinging to the "I don't trust him" as being all they need to vote for someone else. Track record of just what he's been untrustworthy about missing they still cling to this. Brainwashing on orange-man-bad was very complete on some. I used to have to watch for some libtards to bring up some obviously false statement by the MSM but now its basically every talking point they have... and they don't care when those talking points don't pan out as there are many BS media lies queued up right behind to fill that small gap in time you might be able to reach them. I'm sick of it and just don't engage the few really lost ones I know. Actually heard "are you sure it was a bullet that hit him" right alongside "muh 34 felonies" last night even. SMH - NCSWIC!
I crossed that rubicon too, fren. At some point in 2020 I realised - people who seem otherwise rational are under total media-based mind control that no logic can penetrate.
These are the same people who cannot define what a woman is.
I've got a good one. A friend is a lib normie (not raging libtard, but considers herself "progressive"). Known the family for several years. They were full quarantine, masked and max-vaxxed thru plandemic. Voted Biden. Over the past 4 years, they saw their savings dwindle, heard them complain constantly about the cost of everything, etc. They are waking slowly. They've taken issue with all the rainbow stuff pushed onto kids (our child and theirs are BFs in middle school).
We were with them on the 13th when "it" happened. Everyone's phone was blowing up with the news. The mom's exact words at the time were "Oh my God, I don't like him [Trump] at all, but I don't want to see him SHOT!"
The husband said he's voting Trump in a complete 180. The wife is on the fence still. I'm hoping she awakens by November. She is definitely not a Kamabla fan, but may see voting for a woman as "progressive." We shall see. As another poster said here, many of these normies are absolutely catatonic so an awaken might not be possible.
That's a great story. They sound like decent people.
Where I live the normies with TDS are so smug. I've actually stopped going to group events to avoid them.
A few weeks ago one tried to cajole me into expressing an opinion because I kept my mouth shut when they were all ragging on him. We were sitting in a cafe drinking coffee. It's a very awkward situation. My political beliefs are none of their business.
Some are confused and the others are watching every sporting event going.
the vax issue is 'all over now' for two reasons:
unvaxxed patriots broke the system by refusing to comply
Trump sped up the process so we werent stuck in limbo for years like they intended
A comment I've seen elsewhere That convid shot was the blue pill. If they *wake up to anything eg hate the news finally, they still blind to everything.
Seems they don't want to wake up. Too busy probably trying to live with food prices doubled and interest rates / mortgages / rent killing them. If they do at all think, all they can think is survival mode
My brother. He took the covid vaxx. Not sure if/how many times boosted. His wife and wife's family are totally in the dem tank. He keeps his head down and mouth shut most of the time.
But lately, he's begun to question. Why did Biden debate Trump before either convention? How can Biden just appoint Harris after the primary? Why was Trump's security detail so inept? Times are not normal, are they? What's going on?
His wife was shocked when my bro said secret service failed to adequately protect Trump - not because she wanted him shot, but couldn't see that it was a failure. Trusts the msm. The programming is really, really deep. It blinds her. Think Yuri Bezmenov interviews.
I take the questions to be a HUGE step forward with my brother.
He had not heard anything about Big Mike being....Big Mike, however. 🤔😮
Upper Midwest, USA
The normies in my life:
First Initial, TDS Status, Result
M - Ok with DJT - Voting Trump
D - Ok with DJT - Voting Trump
CA - Doesn't like DJT - Voting Trump
CB - Thinks DJT is a Pedo - Voting Kamala
A - Not a fan of DJT - Voting Trump
J - Not a fan of DJT - Voting Trump
Ur friends are 4-6% lost forever it seems
Seems like no one cares.😔 I fear the worst will have to happen for them to care.
I experience the same as the OP
My opinion is, if normies havent made a change by now, then they are long gone frens.
Voting Trump and spraying kumaluh does not win
Normie here, occasional lurker, in the bluest of blue cities in a blue state. fwiw, yes vaxxed, no TDS (I'm not a fan of the guy, but he doesn't make me froth at the mouth or whatever).
My mood? Pretty good right now -- I think Biden stepping down and Harris stepping up was the right decision (and the polls seem to agree), makes me feel better about Dems' chances in November; Biden had an uphill battle ahead of him. I think Walz is a perfectly adequate VP pick; Shapiro seemed a little too fame-hungry, Kelly a little too stodgy. Walz is like the fun uncle, I'll buy it. That's all he needs to be, anyway.
Thoughts on the near-assassination: decidedly not in favor. Tragedy would just create more tragedy. More chaos on top of chaos. Trump dodged a bullet and the country did too.
Thank you for calling in from normie land! Why can't all normies be as friendly and reasonable as you?
They mostly are -- they just don't make the news, or spread online. Only the loud ones do.
