I spoke with my wife's aunt today who is visiting us in Texas from Washington State. For the record, she is a kind, understanding and great aunt to my family but when the topic flipped to the Biden resignation, a few things came out about the Left Wing mind.
The immediate things that were said were:
Trump cut taxes for the rich Citizens United case was the first time crony capitalism came into existence She wants Kamala because she really, really wants a female President. She likes Kamala OK, no qualms about her ability Trump had a sharp shooter to get sympathy (injure not kill) Canada has great healthcare Immigration isn't a big deal She thinks Adam Schiff should run for President, he's smart with good ideas and reaches across the aisle

That’s how it is with my mother. She gets all her news from The View and has MSNBC running all her waking hours. Anything that dare challenge her absolute devotion to all things democrat liberal ends her in to a crying fit.
Sounds just like my neighbor. Really nice guy, great neighbor, hard worker, church goer, community volunteer, registered republican and rabid NYT/MSNBC follower and believes it all. We absolutely never talk politics.
Sure it’s a bloody mess, but who says you have to be the one bloodied? Maybe all they need to start rethinking is a little right think.
A lifetime of brainwashing is tough to fix unless you are a professional de-programmer.
Just because it’s hard isn’t a reason to give up.
I chip away at them—but the direct in their face approach is doomed to failure.
I have watched other people attempt that.
Sometimes people have to be ready to change before they can change.
It’s going to be non stop cries of sexist racist chants when anyone says anything
negative about her. Cackling men and women in the media too. They want revenge for Hillary’s defeat.
Sure, but every little bit you can moves the needle. People that escape indoctrination usually have to be slow walked anyway. I’m all for tailoring the methods and tone when talking to people, but just keeping silent for the sake of “harmony” isn’t doing anyone any good in the long run. People need to know there really is a viable alternative to leftist indoctrination and hearing it from a friend or loved one can be life changing. My mother used to be a true believer Democrat and by engaging her over several decades she is now firmly in our corner.
My approach is not to talk about names of people but to talk about ideas since the mere mention of some names makes rational thought on their part totally impossible.
Details, details......
I might consider joining if we changed the 17th amendment and returned the right to the states to appoint senators.
Back in the beginning of our country only landowners and what were called 'freemen' were allowed to vote. The term freemen has nothing to do with slavery. It means you were an upstanding person in the community. Now we have illiterate illegals voting in our elections.

“Watch what they do”
Unfortunately what they do is vote for the Rats.
Here is the thing. The CIA via the media makes people believe falsehoods, then pushes them, Bernays style, over and over, until it becomes “truth” like Charlottesville, J6, inecting bleach during COVID, vote fraud, Agenda 25, 9-11, everything is repeated and of course, from a credible source, then it must be true. And if you are a one or two issue voter (LGBT-trans, Hamas, climate hoax or abortion), it demonizes the other side and you have “facts” as concluded by the original liars. Debunked lies go on page A-21 not A-1.
I lived in SF and the Bay Area for about 20 years. No amount of blight will make them change. They think that just around the corner another tax or welfare program will make Oakland clean and prosperous again.
You cannot fix the delusional. Even people who are killed like the baker in Oakland and her family advocated the killer not get jail.
If you have no sense of self or cultural preservation, the high testosterone people will swallow you. The gangs are full of virile men, not soy boys in tight slacks with Starbucks.
They will be moved to the side. Chaos ensues. Look at the UK. The sad part is the government wants this.
Just make sure you don’t make her the executrix of your will.
My 94 year-old mother is like this. A highly intelligent person who is still sharp as a tack. Worked hard all her life for what she has. But, why on earth she believes the CNN drivel is beyond me.
Or, having a near death experience after taking one too many covid vaccines. I'm watching one liberal in my family go through the awakening now.
The liberal capacity to deny reality is pervasive. And always remember the great insight of Rush Limbaugh: liberals don’t just believe lies, they want to be lied to,— the prescribed narrative helps them feel secure in a world they don’t understand.
