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.

Hey Patriot , hold on. My 87 year old mother in law how is all of the above understands and believes ... She is so smart, we have shared things with her over the last year in small measures and she has come to the conclusion generally speaking that many of us have come to as well. Go easy on your mom , this is her foundation don't take your anger on the lies and corruption out on her you know? She loves you remember and she is for you not against you , she is not the enemy . Your family will see the lies and they will need you to be there with comforting words and not saying I told you so . Don't let them the DS hurt your mom or your relationship with your family in any way don't give them that. I'm sure you are a good son and you love your mom so much , don't get frustrated that she can't turn her back on everything that she has been brainwashed to believe and just be glad that you have your eyes wide open.
