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...

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.

The “apathetic” are both the reason we have this lawless mess and the solution.

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 may be some passive apathy going around such as people who fail, or refuse, to launch or those who have left the workforce. However, there seems to be more active disengagement. People see that the American Empire is collapsing and don't want any of the columns falling down on them.

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?

Part of the problem is, how are we going to convince anyone else to care when so many of us don't care?

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.

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.

We let communist turds over-run our education system. Now they only turn out little communist turds, with minds as closed as steel traps.

Do you have relationships with like-minded people already? It’s hard to evangelize if you’re all alone, and sometimes it helps to spend time with other watchful patriots to learn things, enjoy one another’s company and what not. Plus, we’ve come far enough down the road of destruction that you might not want to vest your hope in lots of people coming to see the light if they haven’t already.

Get a political party that:
A actually stands for something (not just says crap but STANDS for it)
B actually wins

That will make people care. Because really, honestly, right now, there’s no reason to care. Neither party has any interest in doing anything about your list. Neither party stands for anything. Neither party tries to actually accomplish anything when they get in office. Voting for either of them is just jerking off. There’s no reason not to be apathetic, because nothing we can do effects anything anyway.

I think the mass majority of PEOPLE are becoming WIDE AWAKE simply because when something gets TOO DEEP into your billfold/pocketbook's cash flow the PAIN isn't tolerated for very long.

I believe the problem will rectify itself because you CAN'T serve people so many warm bowls of $HIT before they rebel.
