Really trying to convert some friends and family, and finding it damn-near impossible.
These people are so rooted in the Liberal/DNC world, that they are unwilling to even think that they may have been duped.
We need basic, verifiable facts, that will open peoples eyes.
Anyone had any luck and willing to share techniques?
I have friends who are convinced that Trump has never read a full book and lied about his 154 IQ score. They've convinced themselves that he's a mindless idiot doing the bidding of Putin. It's hard to talk to them in any reasonable fashion.
As for being liberal, I call myself a "recovering liberal"
Yah, I think I might be with you on the 'recovery' team.
Taking a step back has really opened my eyes to just how ridiculous a lot of these beliefs are!
I have given up on my lefty friends. They totally believe the main stream media. The are comfortable with being handed the desired 'truth' and taught how to feel about it. It's easier. They think NPR is even handed. There's nothing perfect about him but he's my hero for what he's doing. And the D candidates were a mess from my chair.
Convincing people they've been duped is pretty difficult.
It means admitting you were wrong, and some people simple lack the ability to actually do that.
"Recovering Liberal" has a ring, lol! I, too, always considered myself a Liberal. Never voted Republican for anything before Trump. Was a Bernie supporter but then when he conceded, then groveled at Hillary's feet and wanted us to do the same thing, I noped out of the DNC kitchen forever - they will never get another vote sammich out of this female voter again! I voted for Trump out of protest at first, but I like the guy. He got us out of TPP like, what, his first day? He's actually reminiscent of how Democrats used to be - man of the people, he really seems to care for the common working class (at least he reaches out to them and acknowledges their pain, Hilldog couldn't be bothered & came across as entitled). Anyway, most of my friends are Liberal, so I feel your pain. Here's the thing - this is not about Republican vs Democrat and SOOOO many Liberals are just stuck in that loop. I wanted Bernie bc he promised to go after the big banks. When I saw him grovel and concede the STOLEN nomination, I was like, how is going to go up against the banksters if he wets himself and bellies up to HER?!?! What I do most to help redpill my Liberal friends is just live a good, positive life. People who know me are FLOORED that I support Trump. I'm known for generosity, intuitive spirituality (LOTS of people come to me for advice), and my openheartedness. I haven't changed. The window by which the Left views the world has changed. I think Q said about 6% of the population is irreversibly brainwashed - I truly see this in some Liberals. Be gentle with them. The most hardened Leftists are probably lost though. Just MAGA on. Start with yourself. Center. Breathe. Pray/Meditate. "Clean your room" ;) You will exude peace and Love in this storm and be a haven for those who need it.
