Just venting here to people who might understand... My friends and much of my family are so lost to the manipulation and brain washing. They are such good hearted people and that’s why they cling to the BLM narrative and support leftist policies, they believe that is how to best help others. I’m trying to help them see what’s going on but they are living in a completely different reality.

I feel so helpless watching them live in fear and stress and constant outrage over lies and misdirection.

These are people I love who have helped me through the worst days of my life.

When I try to show them the facts, they don’t want to see. I think it’s too terrifying to realize that maybe everything they believe is a lie.

I can’t tell them how I truly feel because I don’t want to lose them. I know some will say that makes them not worth it, but these are people I can’t give up on. I owe it to them to try to make them see before outing myself as one of the “bad guys” in their world.

I feel so angry at the media and everyone contributing to the false narratives. Anywhere providing actual facts is labeled “alt-right” and instantly discredited.

I have a lot of work to do to undo the insanity. I guess I can’t expect a lifetime of brainwashing to be undone overnight. It took me about a year to unbrainwash myself and it was hard.

Anybody got any success stories of saving friends or family?

I had a blind hatred of Rush. I still haven’t listened to him yet but I realize my opinions of him were all from what other people said, nothing I had formed on my own. Crazy how easily that happens!

You should give him a listen.

Start with going online and listening to a couple of morning updates - 60 second clips.

Ease your way in.

Just remember Rush is a big - a YUUUGE - user or irony and sarcasm when you listen to him. It is very easy to take him out of context because he is very expansive in his explanations and expositions - a quick sound bite from one of his monologues usually is a major injustice to what he says

Give him a shot. Takes about a month to catch up.
