My friend and her punk friends are refusing to vote for either candidate. I find that to be a win!
She is my only left friend or family member I can actually have conversations with without anger or getting heated. Its actually so nice to have a normal, kind convo.
Let’s see where they’re at about voting in the next 13 days. I think some wild sh*t is about to happen. You have a potential patriot almost ready for harvest! This person listens to your arguments calmly and I’m guessing you do the same? Take this as a Q challenge! You could have them all voting or at least speaking for Trump, if nothing else.
Kek! She just told me the few things she is ok with Trump on. But she is part of lgbtq so unfortunately it makes it a little harder.
Keep it up! You’ve already cracked the shell. I’m excited for you. The LGBTQIA+ crowd is leaning toward Trump, as well. One of my granddaughters is gay. She is tripped out on the tranny thing. She said it made her feel weird when she saw some cross dressers at Food Truck Friday. “And I’m gay!” she said. It doesn’t make sense to her. She’s all for Trump. She watched as all of us went from living well to scraping through the last four years. My point is, everyone is craving a way out of this dystopic mess. The kids aren’t getting as spoiled as they were. They hear their parents talk about what’s wrong with the country and they know what’s up. Too bad the young ones can't vote, jk!
Thats so wonderful to hear!
I don't know if this will help, but Brandon Straka did a Walk Away round table with a group of minority influencers who also walked away from the Democrat party. The group includes gay and lesbian influencers. It's almost an hour long, but Straka is good at grabbing your attention and I watched the whole thing in two sittings. This might make your friend feel a bit less alone (and get her digging 😉).

Thank you for sharing! She is open to watching some things from curiosity
Happy to help! It's a compelling watch.
there are lgbtq Trump supporters.
but anyways, it sounds like she's in a good place, especially if she has a GAW anon as a friend! keep it up!
Indeed, there are lgbt anons here on GAW as well.
Thx!!
Explain to her that the whole LGBTBBQXYZ thing is a psy op on her particular subculture by the uniparty globalist machine. It's another prime example of social engineering and the exploitation of a group of people into being oppressed by imaginary oppressors. It's straight up Marxism. Make a group think they are marginalized so that they will beg the govt to save them from imaginary boogeymen.
Yup, just water that a little bit more - hopefully she sprouts
That's great news. I hate that many "punk leftie" got played into the identity politics. She refuses to vote Trump because she identifies as a punk and doesn't wanna sell out. If she just gets rid of all these nuance she'd be able to think more clearly.
She can see we agree on quite a bit of things. Anti establishment stuff
A lot of actual leftists I know hate Kamala. They're saying she basically sold out her base to appeal to moderate Republicans and there's no point in even voting for her now. Seems like Harris is banking on them turning out to defeat Trump, but those kinds of voters don't really care about personality and decorum as much.
Very true!
That mentality is great but tell her this - If your house is on fire and you have to pick between 2 firemen. one is ugly but great at putting out fire, the other is just plain dumb, and she's allergic to ugly, whcih fireman would she pick?
Or another analogy would be whether she votes or not, just know that all of us (everyone she likes and dislikes) are on the same damn airplane with the same pilot. So either help us choose a pilot to fly this plane safely or crash and burn together.
Cause/effect: Social Engineering. Perhaps bring up examples of how the entire punk rock music scene both mainstream and underground was infiltrated and co-opted during the 2005-2010 era and folded into the greater social experiment commonly known as HIPSTERS.
Coming from a formerly crusty punk background, I remember watching all of the local scenes gradually die and get turned into this giant amalgam of social engineered garbage.
The desired effect was to eliminate all of the independent cliques and groups of identity and turn it all into one big singular collective that way it could be sold to the current gen as "you can be anything you want, you can look any way you want, were all individuals...." but that was the free cheese in the mouse trap. The trap was that they eliminated a good portion of what it means to become an individual with unique taste and talent.
In short, they used social engineering to co-opt all of the individual art and music scenes and successfully turn a majority of those interested in such into the BORG. Good little golems always do as they are told by big daddy govt.
Thanks for the clarification. I'll have to save this.
I grew up in a time when HOT TOPIC was their dress code and piercings and tattoos are must have accessories. In the end they're still trapped in the herd mentality despite following the anarchist dream.
That's actually an excellent segway, Hot Topic that is. It was the beginning of the consumer element to the social engineering. Marketing what was once labeled as identity to quote Polly Styrene, to the normie masses.
Anyone who was active in any alternative music scenes circa mid 90s to mid 00s can easily recognize how the whole thing was hijacked and used by nefarious forces to destroy creativity and individuality in the alt spaces to allow for all of the flair to become the default modern day extreme leftist image.
I appreciate your perspective, it helps to get an insight into the culture because I was just her preppy friend that listened to music with her.
Explain to her that all previous definitions and stereotypes have been inverted: Conservative Nationalism is punk rock.
Take your choice of just about any old classic 70s-80s anti-govt punk band lyrics and apply them to the last four years. Your friend should easily see how they illustrate the commie/socialist/democratic parties and the censorship, hatred, and fascism that in decades past the old RINO party was previously all about.
I think that this is their responding to the awakening.
It's great!
Huge respect to your friend for being able to have a conversation about politics across this manufactured divide.
Now, if only she'd realise that we're the cool rebels now.
So true!
based. i had a punk lefty friend... fully afflicted with TDS. now she's a he, and grooming her younger cousin into he-ing herself also. i couldn't take it anymore.
That sucks, im sorry for that.
Just means that they'll have an easier time stealing her ballot.
Just tell her Trump IS punk rock and everything it embodies. Easy argument to make. Johnny Rotten approves this message.
The Ramones dudes are conservative now i think. Sex Pistol dudes too. Mayhap you could introduce that into the conversation.
Had no idea, thanks!
You are welcome. Make sure you research it though. I just remember Clay and Buck talking about it
It's a W! If you can't convince them to vote for Trump, convince them to not vote at all lol
Exactly! Even my moms liberal neighbor isnt voting
