Just wanted to report on something I doubted might ever happen. I just finally redpilled a severely TDS inflicted woman. A real, blue haired nutbag. I have been working on this person for years. I prayed about her apparent inability to wake up and smell the coffee so much, I despaired, knowing that ultimately, it would be up to her to determine if she wanted to know the truth or not.
Halleluiah and praise GOD! She came around. She is at the very early stages and still has very much to learn about what is going on, the deceptions she fell for, her own culpability in not knowing, the sources she trusted, etc. But she is already on solid footing.
I have seen so many frogs here over the years talk about someone they finally woke up and I wondered if I would ever have that pleasure. Well, I'm here to report that yes, finally, I got through to her. There was a lot of groundwork laid and it did take a very, very long time. But she finally arrived.
So I just want to encourage folks to not give up. Yeah, it is discouraging when people seem to be so willingly blind. But you never know when someone will be receptive or what it will be that will spark that flame of understanding in them. I know it's stressful dealing with people like that, but if it's someone you love, please don't give up on them. Protect your sanity, by all means, but spare a little thought for them because they might not be done yet.
Good for you.
I've had better luck by taking the opposite approach.
Instead of telling people where they've been deceived and trying to show them truth... I work from the opposite direction and have good results.
The Democrats have really gone out on the leftist looney fringe. They are so far out of mainstream with their actions and values... that it's uncomfortable for people to be a part of that. So... ask them questions to make them think.
Do you REALLY support boys competing against girls in athletics, and robbing the medals, recognition and college scholarships from the girls that worked so hard?
Do you REALLY support girls in middle school being forced to shower with boys and changing in the locker rooms and using the same bathrooms simply because a boy claims he feels like a girl?
Do you REALLY support the welfare fraud? The Medicare fraud?
Do you REALLY support uncontrolled illegal immigration into the U.S.?
It doesn't take many questions for people to start saying... NO! I don't think that's right. Make them really think about what the Democrats stand for... and most people get uncomfortable being a part of that.
That is a fine tactic. I've used it many times. Just depends on the person and their way of thinking. It's usually pretty easy to figure out what they will respond best to with just a few statements and listening to them.
On that note, I found common ground with a liberal friend one time and he said "you know, you're more liberal than you think you are." I laughed and told him that 20 years ago I would maybe agree, but today no, I'm just a normal human being that is not full of hate and TDS. He's a pretty good friend so it was easy for us to come to understandings on the topics.
That is some heroic stubbornness you have there fren!
A reminder though. Don’t give up, but don’t confront and antagonize. Just keep dropping red pills.

Well done, I don't personally know any anyone like that.
Tell her to watch the rally tonight! Instead of cheerleading Trump is good at putting out information the media will not put out.
What made her turnaround?
Good for you. I can't be bothered.
Understood. But it's a great feeling. Kind of like when a Christian shares the gospel and that one person out of many, accepts it. Feels great. Like the angels in heaven are rejoicing.
Excellent. I suck at patience.
Never give up.
I would suggest looking for testimonies from other leftists that saw the light. For these people that will have a lot more credibility than hearing about how they were dooped from someone on the right. There is plenty of material out there. We just saw one yesterday on this forum that was originally posted by Elon. Very encouraging.

So including prayer, what was your strategy? What specific facts did you share?
Thank you all so much for your diligent efforts to help wake up these ninnies. I have been trying for years and so far only woke up 2 or 3. They get it and then go back to watching msm, stop researching, and the next thing you know they’re all completely brainwashed again!!! Only one out of three has been successful for me. These intellectually lazy pukes drive me up the wall.
Good advice on here. On a somber note, one needs to tap dance around the whole frightening vaccine red pills. You can't un-vaccinate. And there's still more questions than answers on that topic.
Always stand for what you believe in. The country is so divided right now that no matter what anybody thinks and says out loud half the people will support them and half will argue.
No point in trying to see both sides and being "middle-of-the-road". That just makes both sides hate you.
And keep planting seeds. The ones that take root aren't often the ones we expected.
