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.
Do you think the registered voters are demoralized, thinking there’s no hope in such a corrupt blue state?
I’ve heard that unregistered voters are more likely to vote for Trump than registered ones at this point. Do you think that a voter registration campaign there by somebody like Scott Pressler and anybody he trains could be successful? I’ve also heard that some are telling dems not to register younger people, because in so doing they are registering people who will vote for Trump.
If the conservative registered voters are demoralized, do you think that an influx of registered voters that can rival the democrats/liberals there could re-energize them?
I do believe that the Deep State is doing everything they can to keep us all divided and feeling isolated and alone. And I believe a big part of what we need to do is to somehow overcome the damage they’ve done and give people both hope and connection to each other. I think J6 was a big operation to stop us from doing that.
I just need lots of other smart people to help me out here, because I don’t know how to do it.
Thank you. Those 6 years were spent caring for my husband.
The ship has sailed on my past research. Maybe someday all the red meat from the recent past can find a time and place to be hashed through and America can finally deal with our past and how we got where we are. But that will never happen unless and until we can get Trump in office to destroy the criminals in high places who have taken over this country.
I don’t know how or why it happened but I found this past week that I was reinstated here at Free Republic, and I believe God had been telling me it’s time to let past hurts fade, move on, and work together with all who love this country to regain all we hold dear.
Christians need to pray for the downfall of this Evil Regime.
That’s the most important thing.
The Left’s power comes from institutional capture, not from election wins or popularity.
For example. California is the center of American Progressivism on LGBT and illegal immigration.
But the people of California in referendums voted to cut off public funds for illegals. And they voted against gay marriage !
But the Elites of CA used their institutional power to reverse those votes, and propagandize the people to support illegal immigration and the whole LGBT agenda.
This institutional power can’t be changed by voting or public awareness.
The Regime needs to collapse.
There were a lot of words there but you didn’t say anything except pray.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
That's the message: Pray.
You want a bumper sticker ? How about:
PRAY FOR THE DOWNFALL OF THIS EVIL REGIME.
Is the evil regime the present administration, the democrat party, America, the West meaning Europe?
This guy is almost, but not quite, as bad as jimmah cahtah was.
Look what happened to him.
They simply will not be able to cheat enough to overcome what is about to hit them.
The blinded followers of him are few, far between, and stupid.
Reagan won 49 states. I believe that President Trump was very close to that, except for the cheating.
Nobody, except for a very few, are better off now than they were 4 years ago.
I hope that President Trump picks a damn fine VP, and grooms him or her correctly.
The current Regime is every institution in the West that the Left has captured.
Yes, it is ultimately their choice.
My son asked whether even cowards and traitors are worth fighting for. I had to say yes because any one of us at some point could have been cowards and traitors. Jesus died for cowards and traitors, including me.
I couldn’t help but think that the hopelessness I felt after seeing my sister so demoralized had to have been what Jesus’ disciples felt the Saturday after Jesus died. All the Sabbath Scriptures that pointed to the Messiah had to have felt like a sick slap in the face to them.
But something changed, that caused them to laugh in the face of death and persecution and gladly proclaim how wrong and what fools they had been. Those cowards and traitors were used by God to change the world, as well as to change me and the projection of my life. You don’t change in that way by a mere pep talk. Something real made all the difference.
And it still makes the difference. Jesus died for cowards and traitors, and He still calls us to love them the same way He does. His Spirit still has power to bring the dead to life.
What Trump represents to me is hope that the stench of corruption, decay, and death that holds this world hostage will NOT have the last word. God can breathe life in us all again. These bones can rise up as a vast army in service to God’s gift of life. Satan and his minions can be defeated and Babylon WILL fall as God foretold - and that includes those in the United States of America who have been stealing, lying, killing, and destroying.
I have no idea whether you’re Christian or not, but people like you being willing to stand and unapologetically express support for Trump are a breath of fresh air. May it waft to where it is needed.
AMen, brother! Absolutely!
I remember years ago praying desperately that God would raise up whistleblowers. He has. And God has told us that His people praying is the start of His healing a nation.
Only God can fix all this. Prayer is the most important contribution we can make.
Good to see you again!
I hope you’re right.
I’d still like to get my family back. Like to get rid of the trance that seems to have taken over the country when it comes to actually processing facts and evidence.
Thank you, and likewise.
People need to pray for the Downfall of this Evil Regime, and the end of the evil elites, rulers and leaders that direct it.
I believe Christians also need to pray that the Lord will raise up God-fearing, zealous, and wise leaders, elites, and rulers to lead the people of the West.
Do you think this kind of hacking would require scans of fake paper ballots as well?
If there would be a way to reproduce the exact same kinds of fraud as have been used against us so that recounts, etc would all appear to make everything legit it would really say something.
Do you know if there are Freepers who are really up on how the steal was done and what it would take to replicate it so that Mickey Mouse wins?
Welcome back!
Long time, no see. Hope all is well.
Double amen, and I’m joining you in that prayer.
I believe the Evil Regime is Babylon, the union of false religion and false government - both in service to Satan.
And I believe Babylon is going to fall, as God foretold. I don’t know how or when, but I believe it will happen. And I am praying for it as earnestly as I have ever prayed for anything.
Thanks you.
Could be. But I would expect that the End Times dictatorship would be more competent and ruthless.
The current lot are evil, but they are also incompetent clowns.
We let communist turds over-run our education system. Now they only turn out little communist turds, with minds as closed as steel traps.
