Good to know. I don’t know as I’ve ever read the Q thread before & all I know about is from fellow conservative friends who might be unknowingly influenced by the press. Thank you for providing the information. It’s made me change my perspective. You are a convincing advocate & I appreciate your friendly approach.

I agree with you about the negativity. I have always believed in optimism & self confidence. Free Republic was always something that projected that, but during the last couple of elections it’s become so dominated by defeatists & passimists. Seeing any Conservative adopt that posture hits me hard because I can see exactly where it leads. What those folks have lost sight of is that nothing is permanent. Anything can be overcome. In reality the only sure loser is the one that has convinced himself he can’t win. When we people broadcasting that on our side, it infuriates me. Once you have enough people on any political team airing their pessimism & lack of faith, it convinces many of the people reading or listening to feel the same way. Unfortunately many of those people will believe the election is pointless & will end up not voting.

I dont think our losses in recent elections are completely due to fraud. I’ve seen good & strong conservatives full of faith & enthusiasm get swallowed up by the pessimistic beliefs of of other conservatives & sit out an election because encountering that negativity had convinced them that their vote wouldn’t matter anyways. Many of the negative people may just be expressing angst or thinking out loud. I don’t know that most of them mean to cause others not to vote. But, our side needs to become more aware that when we talk about expectations of loss, it will convince just enough of our voters to not vote and lose elections. 😉

One of the points about Q that the airhead media missed - and is often forgotten today - is the spirit of individuality in the face of global 'collectivism' that Q ignited early on. Q had some part in Brexit, the French Yellow Vests, the Hong Kong freedom thrust (subsequently crushed), the Canadian truckers protest and a renewed patriotism in the U.S.

Not saying that Q was directly involved in all of that, but Q's positive strong assurance, as I said, ignited a renewed nationalism around the world. Not surprisingly, when Q revealed some of the corruption - across national borders - that underlay the globalist autocratic drive to obliterate nationalism, the mockingbird media launched a broadside attack on the whole Q message. One of the most prominent ploys was to label the phenomenon 'Q-anon' and take all sorts of kinky spin offs that are bound to arise and lump it all together as part of the whole 'Q' portrait, part of the Q message.

It was a rather effective dilution of the power of the initial Q appeal and success. But here on the Q thread we have tried to keep our eyes on the 'prize' - the regeneration of the enlightenment of individual attainment akin to the Renaissance on western Europe 500 years ago.

Of course that is my somewhat parochial view; I am sure you might encounter other views here. The overall picture is the initial explosive effect the Q phenomenon had around the globe - and the counter offensive to attempt to diminish its impact. 💪 Be strong❗

Oh, gosh, do I ever hear you.

Part of the 5th Generation Warfare that Mike Flynn talks about is the social media tactic of finding out what people want to hear and then making sure that is the only perspective they get. And it leads to lefties being totally clueless and “normies” being demoralized.

In a very short time period I heard my sister and my neighbor both tell me that there were no good candidates for President. I said I would walk over broken glass to vote for Trump because we finally have somebody who would fight the corruption in DC.

Sadly, I have relatives with Trump Derangement Syndrome. I can’t do anything about them because they won’t hear anything I have to say. I love them and keep them in relationship, pray for them. Those are people we need to try to win back gently. In my family, I think they don’t like the mean tweets so I’m hopeful that they will see that there’s too much at stake to get bent out of shape about mean tweets. But the one sister I mentioned above said she really can’t handle hearing about anything because she thinks it’s hopeless. And we really DO need to help people realize that giving up is a self-fulfilling prophecy.
