    Even when they get their SS canceled, they will praise him. They will say…“Well, he said there will be pain and hardship. But the good times are coming. The lord has a plan”.

      You’re not wrong in general, I should clarify. This family is of the affluent, fence-sitting variety conservative. They couldn’t be assed to do anything because it hadn’t hit them yet. This did. This is someone who will genuinely be turned imo.

      Quick edit here, I just got done talking with them. They told me what finally pushed them over was talking to a friend of theirs whose kid has autism. Their kid hadn’t been able to sleep at night with all this shit going on. Apparently that really got to them. So - my takeaway here is, keep the dialogue open. If you have a story to tell, keep sharing it. You never know who it will reach.

      Many will, some won’t. It’s the 10% in the middle we need to wake up and turn the tide.
