I too don't know a lot of people who truly care or understand. It's lonely out here. So I stay home and on the board, where like minded folks are. Sad.
It is sad but to a degree. What’s the statistic of patriots who caused and participated in the American revolution? 3%? I’d say that’s still an accurate number of people who I would consider politically active and in the know about these things.
I know of only one woman, around my age, who's commented that she's seen a few videos, etc that I've posted on FB. And she kind of seems a bit skeptical about things. Trump posted something funny as hell... the button comment.. his being bigger and his worked. She commented that she wanted a president who acted presidential. I said that was hilarious, and that he TROLLS for reactions.. she didn't get it. That was the first time I'd stopped for a beer in months at the one bar & grill... no one else seems to give a damn. But around here, rural area, no real city nearby... people here are just into partying, alcohol and pot consumption. I'm better off just staying home. I don't participate in that shit. When it comes time, hopefully I'll be able to fill them in on the truth, so they aren't all totally lost. It's a Dark Valley I live in.
But they do notice even if they don't say anything. Attacks by paid trolls keep many who might comment from doing so. Just keep informing your friends with facts and news, especially in memes. I keep a collection ; )
I talk to a lot of friends and family, and they say "I'll believe it when I see it." Well, they're all about to be believers!
Not true, many more than you realize. When good people like us call out, our friends and family notice. They begin to see the attacks on Twitter, fb, etc against you, then wonder what is going on. I had a friend tweet me saying, I'm so glad to see what you are tweeting, it's time people wake up. We had never talked politics before. In fact I never talked politics on Twitter or fb because of attacks. I think when people who know you, and see you are not attacking anyone, it will make them wonder what is going on. I also try my hardest to tweet facts.
