I actually know a lot of co-workers and long-time friends (many who live.work in Portland proper) who, in spite of their left-leaning ways, have not gone full TDS.
Their greatest hesitations/convictions are caused by the tsunami of propaganda pouring out of every media outlet. This, as you might guess, is our greatest enemy in this whole thing. I have seen a few red-pill over time, but it takes time, patience, and a gentle effort.
So far though, the greatest influence in getting these folks to un-left themselves has been the riots. One friend of mine got red-pilled the same night that BLM marched through his neighborhood screaming threats. The "Black Lives Matter!" placard on his front porch didn't insulate him from being directly threatened (he shouted his support, only to be told that he'd only be believed if he literally gave his house to the mob - he then shut up, hid in his locked house with a baseball bat, and prayed that they went away. That was more than enough to make him realize that these assholes are def. not fucking around, and the next day over the phone I got a ton of questions about how one goes about buying a firearm, what kind to buy, where to get one, etc.)
I think that, as these rioters get even stupider (they will, trust me), all but the TDS-afflicted will quietly join-up with the right side of the ideological divide, and while they may still be gay, pro-choice, whatever, they will certainly not abide by the BLM/Antifa bullshit. I hope it will force them to clean their ideological house (like we had to in the 1990s with shitheads such as McVeigh and David Duke), but I'm not going to call it just yet.
It's way beyond repairable man.
I disagree.
I live in rural Oregon.
