Doomers. So tired of them. One purported conservative - the only one in my neighborhood, so therefore the person I talk with the most - sings a constant song of “nothing will change” and “nothing will every get better” and if I say justice is coming the answer is “I’ll believe it when I see it”. I’m trying to decide on my next approach. Years of red-pill attempts are clearly not working. This person is seriously invested in doom. I’m thinking about saying (untruthfully) “yes, you’re right. I give up” just to see if reverses psychology works. The other approach I’m thinking of is to say “When we win and the history of this era is written, you will be included in the opposition. You will go down as one of the people who did their best to demoralize the winners and sabotage the victory.” Whaddaya think? |
I think untruthfully telling them to give up may well bring them great relief; the reason some keep saying 'Doom' is to allay their fear of having to do anything, having to continue hoping, having to be a source of encouragement to others. Some have had their hopes dashed again and again and feel as if it hurts or is too hard to try hope again. Saying, "Yes, we're doomed" would almost give them a vacation ("I no longer have to try, I no longer have to care...) which may give others a desire for an 'I quit' vacation.
I recall someone yelling 'we're doomed!' on the forum and Bagster said, "I hear you saying they broke you. Rub some dirt in it and get back in the game...."
While that's not my style, I get his point. Those who collapse need various approaches: hope, encouragement or a push to get back on their feet.
Maybe telling them examples of positive things happening could help. Have a few things in mind to share if you meet doomers?
Need some cheering up? I just caught this Jessie Watters’ episode on Youtube. I was laughing so hard I thought I’d cramp. Biden is so toast! It was probably posted earlier and I missed it. Groping and going off script epically.

Those complainers seldom actually do anything except complain. Like Steve Bannon keeps saying action, action, action is what its all about! At the very least do what we do here. If you can do more there are Republican clubs, the REC lots of areas to help in.
My thing is voter fraud,if that is not stopped we go nowhere.
