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.
That's tough to answer because, as I said, I've been priming her for years. No big pressure tactics. Just casual little mentions once in a while. It's not like I went full throttle every time I saw her. We talked about lots of other things as well - I sort of used that as a strategy because I didn't want her to think that converting her was all I cared about. But I would make subtle mention of things like Q did, in the question format to get her to think. Usually she would give a quick answer that was straight out of BS-NOW. Then one time a while back she mentioned the russian hoax. I couldn't believe it. I thought even someone like her must surely be aware that was a bunch of lies. So I asked her what she had made of the Mueller report. She didn't even know about it! I had a hard time understanding how she had missed that. I told her to look it up. That was a long time ago and I never knew if she had actually looked it up. I specifically didn't want to send it to her. I wanted her to physically do the work, the research, herself. (I doubt she has ever researched anything before.) I think that might have been a turning point for her. But there were others as well. Now she is asking lots of questions and they are good ones. I'm answering some, and encouraging her to research others (again, mostly to get her in the habit of looking for herself.) I told her, if the Mueller report surprises her, that was only the beginning and to get ready to be very, very surprised.
