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.

I have the exact same problem people just laugh it away, say sure but they dont care or that it doesnt matter and no change will happen and then the worst one the moraly good friend but a lefty that ppl would call having radical left idea's (just wanna beat him up sometimes) -..- But hey i think im starting to get a good sense of what we can do and that is we have to establish some (in this system/society) scientific status point by posting some pappers that cant be disputed no matter how hard they try even not by fake news. Using Socrates method of questioning we could accomplish this i believe sure its slow and tedious but beats trying to convince a wall to see the support its standing on is plastic foil that looks like thick ice. So if u wanna team up and try it just shoutout to me im gonna try and get more that are tired of fighting family and want progress. Q is giving us the crumbs now we have to figure out with what recipe where they made
