Soon, but not yet...

Some in my family are "normies" who just don't have the energy to care about what they call "politics". They believe the government is corrupt but think there's nothing we can do - no good options - so they just want to ignore it and "remain sane". Basically they are black-pilled, and they say most people are the same way.
How do we reach these people? This is what I'd like to say to them, if there was a way to get them to listen. Can somebody help me out here?
“Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.” ― Ronald Reagan
We were not vigilant enough to maintain and keep the freedom we received. It’s a stinky political world right now, but as tempting as it is to just hold our noses and ignore it, unless each one of us cares enough to turn this around, this is a very small glimpse of the government we might pass on to our children:
Passing a law that targets one person.
Giving a ticket to the guy going 76mph on the interstate when everyone else is going 90.
Planting fake evidence against whoever goes against a political agenda.
Jailing political prisoners indefinitely without charging them with crimes.
Torturing those political prisoners.
Spying on everybody but especially judges and lawmakers.
Keeping sex crimes unprosecuted so perpetrators can be blackmailed.
Law enforcement getting rid of “no trespassing” signs and barriers, guiding people into a secretly-restricted area, and then calling them terrorists and giving them jail time and fines.
Firing rubber bullets and teargas at peaceful protesters after a year of letting arsonists, brick throwers, sucker-punchers, and looters off scot-free.
Law enforcement busing in agitators to frame peaceful protestors; agitators fist-bumping law enforcement when violence is achieved.
The leader who refused 20,000 National Guardsmen to prevent “an insurrection” holding herself off-limits to Congressional investigation about her role.
Congressional investigators all hand-picked by that leader hiding evidence disproving their accusations toward her political rivals and holding televised hearings where they tell lies unchecked.
Requiring people to submit to scientific experiments that will kill them and their children.
Having weapons that can undetectably assassinate any person any time.
Having weapons that can brainwash psychologically vulnerable people and use them to commit any atrocity on demand.
Having weapons that can set fires and trigger earthquakes at any time and any place.
Bureaucrats who break every law to target a political enemy – and are then protected by the “Department of Justice”.
Trials that violate evidentiary standards.
Judges and prosecutors who get rich and famous by targeting a political figure.
Juries who lie about their biases so they can punish their political enemies.
Changing a law to get rid of the statute of limitations temporarily so that one man can be bankrupted for defending himself against a 30-year-old rape allegation whose “victim” is caught red-handed lying about the dress she supposedly wore – the only actual evidence even claimed in the case.
A President taking bribes from nearly all the country’s enemies.
Taxpayers forced to pay the President’s money-laundering nation to support the war that erupts when another country finds our CIA creating bioweapons directed toward them.
Staging color revolutions all over the world and in our own country to insure massive worldwide bloodshed.
Censoring factual content on social media and “news”.
Allowing and protecting the abuse, selling, and killing of adult and child sex slaves.
Arming drug cartels.
Passing so many laws and regulations that nobody can possibly be innocent of them all.
Deliberately putting human toxins in food, air, and mosquitos.
Doing the bidding of those planning the extermination of 80% of the world’s people.
Banning home gardens
Banning vehicles that we can afford and that can safely get us to work and back. Rigging “scientific studies” to call safe, effective treatments dangerous, to keep hundreds of thousands of sick people from being saved.
Prosecuting anyone who holds that our own laws governing election safeguards should be obeyed
Deliberately leaving our border unprotected so that any terrorist and any disease carrier can walk in and be received with open arms.
I feel like we can’t even reason with people because they’ve become emotional/mental zombies.
How can we cut through this 100% demoralization?
Usually the apathetic can’t see the big picture so they must be shown how bad policies affect them on a personal level.
But this year is different because Biden is such a total disaster. That’s why so many of all colors and stripes are abandoning the Dem party and Biden. Even fools feel pain.
“How to wake up the apathetic”
Waking up the sleeper cells should do it...

“How can we cut through this 100% demoralization”?
Actually, to a great extent, Biden and the Dems are doing much of it for us. Even fools feel the pain.
I think that’s true.
I just spoke with a family member, though, who knows what is happening is bad. But instead of being glad that we have somebody who is willing to confront all this crap she just thinks we don’t have any good candidates so just roll over and die.
I just can’t understand that whole mindset. She can’t understand why I still care.
That may be what it takes.
But then it may be too late.
What happens after massive attacks when we still have the Biden government who WANTS the US to be destroyed anyway?
Do you think such an attack would activate the military to undo the coup we’ve suffered?
If you used to listen to Rush Limbaugh do what he did, he planted a little seed, fed things in small doses, he never dumped the whole package on people all at once (over, and over, and over) with passionate (to use a kind word) rants, Rush kept it light and led people to think they thought of it themselves.
I love having people and family a year or two down the road lecturing me with what used to be my own conservative points and them thinking they are educating me to right thinking.
In WA state (where I live), only 35 to 40% of registered voters vote. If a “majority” (50.1% of the ballots cast) wins, that means that 17.53% of registered voters dictate who we have in office and what laws are passed.
Here, that 17% is highly energized and vote blindly liberal.
Step one: block all corporate newspapers channels.
There are preppers, people moving to the country, people running cash only businesses, people cheating on their taxes or violating other laws they have personally decided are unjust.
They are just adjusting their habits to minimize the impact of the decay and degeneracy on their lives.
Is there an America left that's worth defending? Our "living" Constitution is a monstrosity that no Founding Father would recognize. Our children are taught that American history is a series of thefts and atrocities. Our government, media, schools, and corporate boardrooms are now run by unelected bureaucrats steeped in Marxist theory.
The Moral Majority, Christian Coalition, Eagle Forum, Contract with America, non-neocon aspects of the Reagan Admin, and the Tea Party all made glorious stabs at the progressive beast, and had some success, but seem to have only slowed the ultimate destruction of a once great nation.
What do you expect the Average Joe or Josephine to do in response?
Good for you!
The first step for me would probably be to somehow stop feeling so desperate. And to somehow find a way to trust that the people in my life aren’t totally brainwashed.
In the past I tried doing what you describe on social media, but it seemed like nobody was willing to consider anything I said. I suppose I was probably doing it wrong.
So I guess what I hear you saying is that trying to wake people up by showing them the big picture is not the way to go.
Neither she nor I can handle listening to any “news” because we both know it’s all lies.
Yet somehow she got the idea that there are no good candidates.
I would walk over broken glass to vote for Trump because FINALLY we have somebody who knows what the Deep State is and is willing to fight against it on my behalf. Finally I have somebody to vote FOR, rather than just choosing the lesser of the evils.
I wonder if she’s getting the negativism about Trump from people around her who DO hear from the “news”.
What can I put
On a Bumpersticker?
.
Asking for a friend.
I agree. I just don’t know how to reach them.
People talk about Scott Pressler being so good at activating people and getting them registered. has anybody seen him in action, to know how he does it and how the rest of us could do it too?
Soon, but not yet...
Marjorie Taylor Greene and Tucker Carlson were talking about Mike Johnson’s plan to suspend the rules so that a $60 billion aid package to Ukraine can be passed next week. MTG noted that 70% of the public is against any more aid to Ukraine but favors a push to come to peace terms instead. MTG said that if those 70% fired up to stop this, they would stop it.
Tucker said, “I hope that lion roars”.
Elections are one way to roar. That’s why the corruptocrats have to cheat. But there must be some way for us to refuse to allow that cheating.
Do you have any ideas?
Family members?
Love them for the people they are. You will not convince them to think as you think. All you will do is alienate them.
If things get as bad as the doomers say they will, you will need all the community you can get.
