Correct. My dad is conservative and believes in liberty but only at a pretty basic level. He thinks the US is a capitalist country. He has no idea, none whatsoever, how close the country came to annihilation or how evil and extensive the deep state really is. He watches Fox but he also for example thinks the Fed is independent and he follows their commentary on the economy. People like my dad need to wake up very slowly or maybe they will just not have time to wake up this time around. It gets very hard for people to change their thinking as they get older.

So, if you're past the Fox News level then good for you, but most people need the hand-holding that they are providing. It may be good enough just to keep the older people from getting terrified and flipping out, than to really try to explain it all to them.

Don't sell us ol' geezers short! Not only are a lot of us awake, we're often more awake than our 30-something kids! (who think we are over-reacting and things are not really all that bad) Yes, I understand that there are a lot of people like your dad, but it is really more about their world view than age. There are a lot of Gen X who think Clinton/Obama represent normal! They all know several people who have had abortions and "don't want to judge." I could go on for quite a while, but will spare you my long list of examples and give you two pieces of Wisdom of the Elders:

  1. Talk about Policies in terms of Liberty and Justice for ALL. "Special" interests are not for all.
  2. Avoid political labels and buzzwords as much as possible. Political buzzwords make people tune out and assume they already know what you are going to say; they are practically hypnotic.

Remember... They are still about ratings and money. They certainly don't do this for free. Don't get me wrong, I believe they are all Patriots. But they have an agenda as well.

It's as if they are [controlled] opposition.

I agree and it’s exciting to think about, but at 81 upvotes (lets just assume it gets viral voat status), you’ve grabbed the attention of around 400 people that voted, and maybe a few hundred more that read it but didn’t vote. Maybe get a twitter celeb to retweet you and get into the tens of thousands of likes territory to really get TC and SH and LI attention.

And it’s the job of Q to be a fraud while mollifying his loyal cult Qlown “followers.”
