Soon, but not yet...

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.
