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.

You push too hard. You need to ease people in gently. Saying someone is part of the NWO is enough to shut them down. Baby steps, otherwise they will close up.
You need to ask them questions and then lead them down the rabbit hole.

This is true. I completely forgot about that!

That along with some of JFK's speeches! I have wanted to do this, but have not because it's too late for the ones I really want to share with. Once the label comes out, there is no hope discussing with the one applying the label- everything you say after is discounted in my experience.

Good advice. But, I've pretty much given up on trying to wake them up at this point. I can't seem to do it not matter what I try.

It depends how much you value your family.

At 70 she is not going to research she needs to hear it in a trusted place which is the FAKE NEWS.

It isn't her age, it's her attitude.
