I have the same issues communicating with much-loved family members, so I don't discuss the issues that will lead to those impasses. While they'll never listen to me, I take it as a article of faith that future events will lead them towards the truth. In the meantime, the "pleasantries" have the advantage that they are, by definition, pleasant.

I might also mention that I continue to prep for them all.

As far as friends go, however, it's a different story. All of my close friends are like-minded, and none subjected themselves to the experimental medical treatment.

Sometimes water can be thicker than blood.

That’s where I’m at too, but to this point I haven’t had close friends I can talk to in real life. I’m still grieving my husband and I’m awkward finding my place in this new reality without him.

I think I need to trust, like you say, that they will brought around in God’s time. I’ve always struggled with impatience.

When we were kids we didn’t think twice about being able to debate things out, and on the most important things we knew we agreed. In our family and in our country, it was that way. I really miss those days.

How do you prep for others? That’s something I’ve thought about too. I do think we need to be looking out for those who aren’t strong enough to look out for themselves. In a way, I think a lot of people have been captured by the psy-ops. They need our help but can’t necessarily receive direct talk.

If people are in such a fragile state, maybe the best we can do is not talking about the state of the world with them - opting for pleasantries instead - but just simply and not in an in-your-face way having a Trump bumper sticker, lawn sign, or t-shirt/hat. Let them know where we’re at but not in a militant or uncomfortable way. The left has been so violent that people are often afraid to show any support for Trump, which plays into the psy-op that makes people believe there isn’t support for him or that he’s not a good, hopeful candidate.
