Did you read my question to you about what strategy we can use to try and guide our lost family members back to reality when Trump is declared the
winner. It is coming and I really do not know how to handle this.
I know right now they will claim fraud, stolen election, and dictator.
I remembered when you mentioned you too are surrounded in a sea of misguided souls, as I am.
When I saw your post asking this question, I got excited hoping someone would have the perfect suggestion as I have been pondering the very same
thing. Cranky's response is exactly right as usual but it is still going to be very hard I think.
For as long as I can remember, I have been a person that people come to for support and advice. My friends & family know that I am a good listener,
that I spend lots of timing researching things and that I am calm and that I reason things out. The problem is that although they seek me out to ask
what I think and get my opinion/advice on what to do, they almost never listen or follow that advice. It is extremely frustrating especially when I
am almost always proven to be right when it is all said & done.
The last few years have been no different. Since this Covid BS, people have just become so unhinged. Some of you may remember early on that I was
going to start making masks to help out in the community. I spent several days reorganizing my space, pulling out appropriate fabric & doing as much
research as I could to make sure I was making the best ones I could make. Within about 4 days of researching, I quickly realized that the masks were
useless against viruses. I realized there was no point in me wasting my time on something that was just a placebo to make people feel better so I put
it all away & gave up. This was still in the time frame of the "experts" saying we didn't need to wear them. When talking to people, I would explain
what I learned & where I found the info. When the push for masks started happening, I kept repeating what I learned & explaining why they don't work.
I have been shut down, told that the studies I read from 2005 were "political & biased" or screamed at because "MASKS WORK". I talk to these people
less & less as a result.
I have a feeling what is coming is going to be much worse than anything we have faced before, at least initially. I guess my biggest hope is that the
corruption re: the election fraud is so obvious & blatant that they will have to see the truth. My SO & I got into a discussion the other day about
it. I pointed out some of the instances that are blatant & asked if he thought that it sounded plausible i.e. 1000's of ballots for Joe only etc.
He said that he thought that sounded perfectly legit. I just said "Okay, I guess we will see."
I wish I had a good answer & I will certainly bring it here if I come up with anything. I'm with Texasgirl though, I'm just keeping quiet (mostly)
and seeing how it unfolds. My understanding of The Plan is that we are all here to help them when it all comes out. My guess is they will be
confused but want to talk about it to understand. I have not talked about Cue to any of these people but I have said enough about Biden's crimes,
corruption in government, etc. which they ignored or shut down. I keep wondering if they will remember what I said & come back & wonder/ask how I
knew that/why I was talking about it when they didn't see it on the teevee. That is where I plan on letting it all out.
I try really hard not to be the "I told you so" kind of person but it is hard. I have done that in the past but only to point out to them that they
asked me. What is the point of asking me for help or advice when you aren't going to listen to any of it. I feel this situation will be quite a bit
different as it is going to be so earth shattering for them. I don't feel like it will be an "I told you so" moment if that makes sense. I really
hope not. It is incredibly frustrating but I still find myself feeling mostly sorry for them.
I just thank God every day for this group of amazing people. So nice to know that we are not alone. We all just need to hang in there and stay
positive & trust the plan.
