My Conversation with a Liberal Family Member
Google ^ | 07-21-24 | wac3rd

Posted on 07/21/2024 2:25:25 PM PDT by wac3rd

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

“Nobody is going to hire someone to shoot himself in the head but try not to kill him. An ear is a tiny target and it is hard enough to shoot someone in the head to kill let alone just clipping the ear while they are moving their head around.”


The people who think the shooting was staged are the same people who think cops should just shoot the knife out of the hand of an attacker 25 ft away who is running at them at full-speed.

Yeah... the consensus seemed to be that it was a wise move. I’d have been one to support it, more than likely!

I have some liberal cousins. During the infrequent occasions that I see them they will drop a comment about politics that is obviously intended to instigate a conversation and equally obviously intended to turn it into a propaganda session replete with put downs. He drops some stupid trolling remarks in his Christmas letters which paint that picture for me.

I never respond. Not a word. I also never initiate contact them.

The ironic thing about your average liberal is that in their private life they are quite conservative - they don’t raise their kids to be druggies, criminals, lazy, sluts etc - but when it comes to voting they vote just the opposite. I know quite a few like that myself.

They’re incapable of connecting dots and they’re easily guilted into pathological compassion and thus tolerance for the homeless the druggies, the invaders, the bums, criminals, etc. Their aspiration is to be seen as “nice”.

It’s how I came up with my tagline.

Democrats are either stupid or evil to accept the lies they accept. I’ll leave it to you to judge whether your aunt-in-law is one of the stupid ones or one of the evil ones.

They “believe” women getting abortions is a good thing - good for the planet - good for the woman - there is no baby in there anyway - just biological tissue.

I put ‘believe’ in quotes because I doubt they actually believe this rubbish.

Lately I have been realizing after everything Biden and the dems are supported in doing that almost half our country are mentally ill.

The joke about liberals here in New England is that they say they love blacks but all live in Whitopias.

There are plenty of urban ghettos here in CT. Nothing is stopping them from living there.

Watch what they do, ignore what they say.

This is caused by liberal control/weaponization of the media systems in this country. They spew ridiculous lies, and the other liar-puppets nod their head in agreement that it's true or credible.

The Asch conformity experiments (psychological experiments conducted in the 1970s) demonstrated that 80% of people will claim to believe something *IF* they think the majority believes it also.

The media-lie-system creates the illusion that everyone believes the crap they spew. Most ordinary people simply do not consider the possibility that the stuff they see on the news is not true. They believe it, and they adjust what they think to conform to the distorted spew they see on television, the internet, and in print.

Your aunt is one of these drones, mindlessly lapping up the nutty stuff the media-liars spread, and allow to be spread.

The problem is the media liars. I've been saying for decades we need to break their lying-system. We need to take control of broadcasting and the internet, and force them to provide equal time to the other side.

It would be like trying to convert a fanatic from one religion to another.

This is exactly right.

It can be done, but you have to use the same tool that brainwashed them. You have to have the *TRUTH* broadcast over live TV with all the talking heads agreeing that it is the *TRUTH*.

Then they will believe it.

The media-system is a weapon for gaining political power. I didn't understand this for the longest time, but that is what it is.

Have a lot of liberal relatives. Tgey do not listen to one word of nothing Trump says or what Trump supporters say

They’re not going to listen to me

We talk about tge weather, food, movies, music. We go to museums, out on the boat, to the beach

If they ask me anything about politics I act like someone who knows top secret info and am not able to divulge. I smoke and change the subject

I have great peace KNOWING that they are wrong. Furthermore they will have no use in tge election. Trump will be president. Some of them might even pretend they loved him all along

I don’t care.

They’re ininformed, unwise ignoramuses.

Good post.

If the media broadcasted North Korea propaganda the mindless drones we call Democrats would believe it without hesitation.

I really think she's a dear woman, you would like here to know her, but the NPR/CNN/MSNBC kooky Leftist narrative has become reality for them. They really do believe in 40 genders and that only whites are racist.

I have a close relative with similar views.

It is not so hard to understand. Most people rely on others for their basic understanding of the universe. Those who get virtually all their information about politics from the dominant (leftist/progressive) media machine are not uniformed, they are misinformed.

My relative is *not* stupid, but terribly misinformed.

Once a world-view is formed, or misinformed, it is nearly impossible to change.

Consider how many people still believe that Watergate was an action which required the resignation of President Richard Nixon, who less than two years earlier had won the presidency in a landslide.

Over the years, I have come to understand Watergate was a media coup against a popular president the media despised.

2 Thessalonians 2:11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: 12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

She is under judgment by God because she does not love truth. No amount of reason or logic will move her. Let the dead bury the dead

There is a reason why the mass media are immediately destroyed and/or seized during wartime and occupation.

You want your narrative, not their narrative, to reach the masses.
