I went over to my mom's house earlier today. She's in her 70's. She grew up in the 1950s and loves Jesus and America and believes that we live in the "Land of the Free". She had the TV on and was watching George H.W. Bush's funeral. As soon as I saw it, I rolled my eyes and asked: "Why are you watching this crap?" I asked her to turn it off. She tells me: "It's IMPORTANT to honor our American heroes..." I told her that he wasn't a hero and that he actually was working for the New World Order and killed a bunch of people. She got mad and told me to shut up. (She has heard my conspiracy theories for years. She is not interested in hearing any more.) I tried explaining about how Bush was part of the Deep State but, she just tuned out. She turned off the TV and told me she didn't want to hear any more. Then, she changed the subject.
This is how it ALWAYS goes with my family. They think I'm crazy. They think I am into a bunch of tinfoil hat conspiracy theories. Nothing I ever tell them comes true. The TV assures them that everything is fine. Any "evidence" that I present to them -- they find some piece of "counter evidence" (from a Deep State source) and "prove" me wrong. They even send me links to Snopes and tell me that I'm wrong.
I can't redpill these people. They are God-loving, church-going, white Americans from the South. They vote Republican and think that the fake news they see on TV is what is actually happening in the world. Until we see some MAJOR arrests or some massive events (eg. the shutdown of the Federal Reserve) then I will never be able to get through to them. They just don't believe me. Even worse, they think I'm crazy.
When are we going to have some TANGIBLE, SOLID, REAL proof that we can point to and say: "See??! I told you so!" ???
Until that happens, we just avoid the topic of politics and I don't even bother trying to change their minds.

Have them look up what happened with the USS Liberty.

They think it's all lies. It's a bunch of "propaganda" made up by communists who hate America. The TV tells them the truth. They figure if that was really true --- the TV would have told them about it. But, since TV didn't tell them about it, it must not be true.

Maybe try a different tact. It's not the system that's the problem (we have the best system humanly possible). It's the people who have been in the system for too long. Power inevitably corrupts. You can't just tell them Bush killed Kennedy, ran cocaine and underage male prostitutes in the 80s as well as trying to usher in the full-scale enslavement of humanity. I mean, he did but you can't come out of the gate with that shit because it sounds crazy to them. Just like their worship of the tv is crazy to you. Your seeming fixation on Q is to them.
