This is my story too. I’m still appalled normies can’t see through the dem bullshit. Actually I’m convinced they can but their tribalism gets in the way. Yesterday I told my mom covid was political, she disagreed. I offered a $1000 bet saying it disappears after the election. She didn’t take the bet...
Haha. I've repeatedly offered a similar bet to my SO. They know in their hearts that we're right. A wise person once said "It is a terrible thing to fall, but far more terrible is to admit it."
My girlfriend was worried about her "at-risk" mother getting it, as well as her step dad. Me and my folks had it back in March and kicked its commie ass like the red blooded Patriots we are. Her mom and step dad got it, she freaked out for a day or two, and then literally has not brought it up one bit since. I can only assume they got over it like it was nothing, like I did.
I can only hope this shit is sinking in, because any direct attempt has been completely futile since she believes Trump is as guilty as the rest of them. No matter what evidence I bring she goes back to that. She'll claim she doesn't fit in with whatever groups, but regurgitates Democratic Party talking points to me whenever it does come up, including the old "Western European Democratic Socialism" argument.
I know exactly how you feel, pede. I have good friends - otherwise kind and smart people - who insist that they are neutral and moderate and formulate all their own opinions without outside influence they are just totally free thinkers coming to their own conclusions based on the facts.
... And then they will tow the party line harder than a fucking tugboat and literally shout me down Chris Wallace style and say I'm 'distracting from the issue' when I dare deviate from the neat little script they have in their heads. Two friends have literally covered their ears and said "LaLaLaLaLa" like a fucking child and then called me closed minded!! The cognitive dissonance is remarkable. That's why we call them NPCs. They are not bad guys, but until the system changes and they are told it's okay to not tow the line they are just mind slaves to the enemy. Very much like the Matrix.
I'm more and more impressed with how apt an analogy the red pill is. (Ironic that it was invented by trannies.)
Even before I was interested in politics, when a friend first told me what "Woke" was, I told him it sounded stupid. Thinking back, I can recall how physically uncomfortable it made him just to hear that kind of push back.
Normies who don't have access to "alternative media" like us may never know that the wool is pulled over their eyes. Many of them probably see "alternative media" as a bunch of extremist conspiracy theorists shut off from reality trying to control them (ironically).
Ive been trying to think of who to get my mom to watch (she's 72) instead of CNN and Canadian state media because she's a natural catastrophizer and severely Trump Derranged.
My friend loves posting clips of CNN blatantly making fun of Trump and Trump supporters and still actually thinks CNN is real news and are presenting a fair and accurate view of the world.
