I'm visiting my mother and sister in FL. My mother is 94, sister is 64. They had ABC "news" on and a story about Trump doing something was on. I don't know what the story was about, but it set my mother and sister into a rage, questioning how I could support Trump. But what was really telling is that they both said "He's a threat to Democracy!" at the same time! And went on to accuse me of being brainwashed by whatever I listen to. I'm afraid that unless the MSM is taken over by conservatives, or the leftists are forced to tell about all the lies they have been spewing, people like my mother and sister will never wake up, and I think it's still about 40% of the population.

Yep. Have lost 3 friends, son has called me conspiracy theorist, and President Trump evil, two sisters are a total lost cause, can't even mention POTUS' name without them going into raving lunatics. So sad and too bad. They also are all vaxxed and excoriate me for being selfish and not "protecting others".
I lost friends over Trump too and what's worse is that they found out on FB--I never put it in their faces like they did w/Hillary.
I'm not on facebook. I fly the American Flag and this made me suspect to one friend, she ghosted me right after the election.
I don't think it's more than 35% actually--I believe it's been artificially inflated.
We should do a poll here to find out what percentage of family members are leftist drones. In my case, one brother and one sister, and my mother, are leftist drones. Me and one brother are not, so out of five, three are leftist drones, or 60%. For my four children, one is strongly conservative, one is moderately conservative, and two are leftist drones. My wife is strongly conservative. So for my immediate family, it's 50% leftist drones.
Our family of 12 of voting age; 6 strongly conservative, 4 moderately conservative, 2 young lefties So 83% conservatives 17% lefties but I hold hope as they grow up they will move right.
Hopefully so. The brainwashing received in public education is the worst factor right now. Hopefully all that is happening now will put an end to that soon.
One works in the mental health system so you can imagine, the other is very talented blue collar so it wont be long for him.
3% lib-tarded, 1% moderate-tarded.
The rest is mostly awake...at least on a traditional conservative level.
We are a few months away from this being cleared. USAID was BRILLIANT!
Save money going out the door to fill apartments with illegals; with media support, keeps housing prices and grocery prices higher than they should be.
The message will fade fast.
My Mother and Father almost in unison proclaimed Elon last night as an unelected puppet. They watch CNN. 🙄
At least they’ve moved on from the narrative that Elon was the shadow president and Trump the puppet.
Sorry for your circumstances. MSM is dying - the funds of us aid being cut off might put them to bed at long last. My parents were life long democrats and I have thought more than once that I am glad God took them before the world went nuts. My mother in law did make the change - the transgender and Godlessness of democrats finally chased her to our side.
What is really amazing is, that in my mother's case, she probably agrees with 90% of Republican policies, but because she is a lifelong democrat, she will never admit that the party doesn't line up with her beliefs.
I know her - well lots of people like her. I see the more religious democrats find it easier to see the light. I feel for ya.
Same here, both my parents are devout Catholics. I feel your pain. They make excuses that abortion is ok because, of course, none of thier business. They truly think Democrats help people, Republicans only coddle the rich. You can guess the rest. My Dad has MSNBC burned into a very expensive OLED tv I bought for him a few years ago. Now he switched to CNN. MSNBC must have finally went over top for him. So now CNN fills thier hate.
I feel you. My wife is asleep. She gets all her news from propaganda sources. It's painful.
It took me 3 years for my wife to go from Dem to moderate conservative.
What turned her was all the foreigners here. She hates them LOL.
It’s like going into an insane asylum and trying to have a normal conversation with crazy people!
And they think we are the crazy people!
What I would like to know what the difference, or if there are any, between different generations is. So boomers have a lot of people who rely on MSM news, their kids as well, and a lot of them were thoroughly indoctrinated in schools.
But then there are youngest people, Barron Trump's age and those a bit older than him, who are said to listen more to podcasts than anything in MSM, and there is that claim that Trump using Barron's advice to go more to places like Joe Rogan might have been what made the difference that got him elected, and in a landslide at that.
So, would those younger people have more individiduals who have gotten red pilled early? And fewer brainwashed ones?
That might predict well for the future. Once us old farts start to phase out - and the system is fixed to the point where we can't vote from grave - maybe there might be even a lot longer period of good times.
I'm not convinced it's a generation thing. More like what garbage went into your head, and how independent of a person are you. The dependent, cliquish, tender heart types have the feel-good democrat save the world, take care of me ideology. The independent types I know are logical, independent types. I'm a boomer surrounded by Trump supporters in my age range in a red state. I lived during the hippy times, but they were an interesting aberration to me. A lot of people took that laid back, don't worry attitude to heart, and created yurt communities and other places for old hippies to hang out. In my world, I'm seeing quite a few late 50's and under who are liberal Trump haters. A surprising number of mid-30's to mid-40's age range in the programmer / DIY world are liberal. I'm hoping the much younger ones are getting to see through the BS going on around them now, and reject the liberal stance.
Yeah. I know a lot of those types of people. It seems the 60% are growing much less tolerant of them though.
Some people have to ”feel” safe and such. The study I want to know is out of all the people who say their families are leftist take mind altering drugs prescribed by themselves by their doctors (you know they heard it on the tv so it has to be true), by their doctors or by a psychiatrist. I hear a few psychologists can also prescribe certain meds now.
My middle older brother takes mind altering meds plus he goes to those shops that sell state made weed.
Not all, but I would say pretty high percentage of conservatives dislike any meds unless they have real physical pain. Most conservatives learn to cope and deal with emotions.
Just something I have wondered about and with usaid funding stuff causing manipulation and propaganda I would not be surprised if people’s families stopped taking these drugs they would wake up.
To add I believe if one goes to see a psychiatrist or psychologist and these people are woke and use pronouns and such should lose their medical licenses after it is a documented fact with evidence.
Here's part of the problem. Any progress u make with them is negated that night when they get zapped again. TV IS A WEAPON ( tell-a-vision ) and they believe it's for entertainment and to gain knowledge.
" Sometimes you must show them ". They will never wake up with words.
There are 3 types of men

I think 30% are still mindless drones who just repeat mockingbird and actually have no clue about anything, nor do they want to learn real truth. Some are stupid, some are cowards, and some just thrive on hating everything Trump as they were programmed to do.
They believe the news and when the news starts exposing the truth they’ll believe that too. Most will wake up they just need to hear it from someone they “trust”
One cousin said "die to own the libs" and another called me an idiot. I told them enjoy the next 4 years. I was gonna wreck them but I decided after my tooth extraction today that I don't care anymore. It will be a far better victory when they learn on their own.
The timing is not right for us to expect them to suddenly "see the light". We were told that when crimes against children is fully exposed, it will unite all humanity. This is when they will be shaken to the core and we will be prepared to comfort them.
