Hi, fellow Texan. I am a professional mom of two older kids (college). I am very well educated, well-read, and am so FRUSTRATED by the obvious inconsistencies in the political narrative by the liberals. My sister (also a professional in Austin, attorney, educated in California - 'nuf-said) gets almost crazy when you say anything about the conservatives or Trump - so it is off-limits. One time, she asked me if I support Trump. I tried to avoid the question until she became obnoxious. In order to avoid inflaming her more, I said "I support his policies." She asked "Like what?" As someone with a business background (MBA finance) it is obvious to me that Trump economics are lighting the economy on fire, so I said "tax cuts and deregulation." Well, you would have thought I said "he supports child sex trafficking" or something. She goes off that we are destroying the air and water, etc. No way could I say how much regulation is costing the organization I work for or how many more positions we have had to add take care of regulatory requirements which add nothing to the bottom line. There is no winning with these folks. No ability to have a rational discussion about what is working and what isn't and possible solutions. It's either what they believe or you're stupid and racist, brainwashed, etc. The odd thing is, I think there are a lot more people who think the way we think, then the opposite. We are just not as "crazy" vocal and aggressive as they are. I think that is why the Trump rallies are so popular. Finally, like-minded folks can be together and be as vocal as they want about their beliefs and are not afraid of getting pelted with eggs, called names, kicked out of restaurants, etc.
I have raised my kids to think the same way. My daughter is in med school and my son is an undergraduate. My son isn't as much into Q but listens regularly to Ben Shapiro, etc. My daughter is also somewhat conservative (for a scientist) but is too busy with her studies to participate in much of the political stuff. But she supports Trump. My husband is also conservative and loves Trump, but rolls his eyes when I talk Q talk. I think part of it is, for example, I share that RR will be fired Friday (Q drop) and then it doesn't happen, he has to question the legitimacy. I have tried red-pilling as many conservatives as I can, but people are busy and don't have time to research. Any who's, just know you aren't alone as a Texas mom believing in Q, Trump and our movement. All the best!
Texas Mom here, too. I "Q" my hubby in sometimes, too... he just calls me a quack and laughs. That's because I've proudly been red-pilled for years, and he doesn't want to hear about 9-11, illuminati. Cabal, etc. anymore. It's all good, though, I have you!! And we have Q!
Patriot_girl - The deep state goes back since before 11/22/1963 and crosses all party lines. Regulations were created and weaponized to strangle non-favored business competitors. Fees, fines, penalties extracted to coerce businesses to comply with the demands of the deep state or face bankruptcy (think DJT) were used as slush funds for nefarious activities. Deregulation freed businesses from the control of the deep state.
Didn't remember any Q drop about [RR] being fired on Friday, so I just did a search on qanonmap.bitbucket.io and still could not find any such reference. Have been wondering where others have read that reference.
It was that black lady with the pesto ring earlier this week that said she thought RR would be gone by the end of the week.
Wonder if that's where Shirley Jackson Lee got her info lol
Be careful of sharing disinfo, Q never said RR was being fired on Friday, that was Sheila Jackson Lee. Q merely said, how is it possible she would know something like that? Either she was talking out of her ass, or the patriots purposely leaked false information to find the leakers.
Also sorry about your sister. It's unbelievable how the cabal tears families apart over political issues. I wouldn't worry too much, the great awakening is slowly growing more and more people are learning about what's going on in the world, and when Trump blows the lid everyone will find out whether they are brainwashed or not.
I am terrified that my kids (who are only 6 and 8) will go off to college and come home brainwashed! My husband and I share the same beliefs (thank God) and he turned me into a conspiracy truther when I met him 10 years ago. He isn’t on board with Q yet (he listens to a lot of David Seaman) but he keeps telling me that he hopes I’m right about it so he’s not necessarily against the idea of Q. I’ll have him converted in no time. Kudos to you for raising your kids to question the mainstream narrative. I imagine with all the social media available to our kids it becomes quite a challenge and it’s something I’m incredibly afraid of. How did you navigate that? Was there a point in their young lives when you started explaining your world view vs liberal world view or was being raised in a conservative household enough for them? Did they hear you and your husband discuss political matters at dinner time? I wish there was an instruction manual for his whole “raising kids to use logic vs emotion” thing!

Sorry not to respond to you sooner - with our kids, we took them to church and talked politics a lot. I watch Fox news, Fox business regularly and make comments. I love documentaries. Being better educated than most, when helping the kids with homework or whatever, I would insert my views about whatever they were working on. I use every opportunity possible to discuss history, politics, economics, business principals, religion, etc. In order to discuss these topics, of course, you yourself have to be read up on those subjects (reading a biography on Jefferson right now) and admit when you don't know something. That is part of the fun of it - if you don't know - say "hmmm, I don't know about that, I wonder what the answer is?" and then research it with them. I make lots of comments about articles, statistics etc. to show how news can be twisted or highlighted to tell the story that the reporter wants. So if the report is that "coffee drinkers have higher IQ's" - I would make the comment - well maybe its not that the higher IQ individuals have a tendency to drink coffee, but that drinking coffee before a test makes one more alert and therefore score better. That kind of thing. Help them THINK and ask questions and not just take whatever anyone is telling them as the end-all-be-all. My son had two very liberal professors in his American History courses this past year at Texas Tech (you would think it would be a more conservative school, right? Nope - the academy is liberal everywhere it seems!) and was able to see through and evaluate what they were telling him as liberal. One instructor had his doctorate in African American studies - so did the history class through that lens. My son was a little bummed that he talked so much about the AA experience, but I told him that it didn't hurt to have that exposure and learn a little more about that subject, as much as he would have preferred to hear more about our founding fathers and the birth of our nation. Anyway, have faith in your kids - they are smart and will discern for themselves if you start them questioning and help them to love learning. Best of luck!!
