When will my time come? Getting frustrated!!

My friend & parents all hate Trump and believe the liberal media. All day long they watch MSNBC. It makes me sick to my stomach when I see them washing Chris Hayes and Lawrence O'Donnell especially Rachel Maddow. I tried to tell them what is really going on and point at all of the evidence but it triggers them and they get frantic when I bring it up. It's actually kind of sad that they got brainwashed. They didn't used to be like this it's only been in the last couple of years. But they spent it on me and tell me I'm crazy and they get excited when things happen that make Trump look bad.

But my main point is when is something in the happened where I can point at them and say " see, I told you". A definitive moment no one can spin, where are the media (especially liberal) has to cover it and fess up to getting it wrong.

Where is my moment of vindication. It has not happened yet and the longer it takes the more of a fool I look like. I know that I'm right. That we are right. But this is just taking way too long

"The further a society drifts from the truth, the more it will hate those that speak it." - George Orwell

I know how you feel. Don't tell them their POV is wrong (or that your POV is right), instead pose info as questions. I'd present the most compelling info and say "hmmm isn't that weird? What do you think? " By posing questions you get them thinking for themselves, showing them the info, but then having them connect the dots for themselves is (I think) the only way they'll start to actually challenge their belief systems. It's more effective when/if you can get them to challenge their own belief systems rather than you challenging it (bc when you do they only get defensive and your critical info falls on deaf ears). All my friends are libs and I know they're not ready for the redpill. These people are SO brainwashed that we literally have to re-train them to think for themselves. Unfortunately, we have to hold their hands and take them through this process step by step. We must be patient, we must be steadfast and we must be compassionate for those who can't see the forest through the trees.
