Took a nice long walk and talked to a friend I hadn't chatted with in a while. We talked about a lot of things. She brought up Ukraine and the shootings and the food shortages. So ... I shared what I knew. She was quiet. Speechless, I asked and laughed. She laughed and said yes -- but said another friend of hers told her some similar things, but nothing in depth. I told her to look past what she's been told and investigate (she's a journalist). She said she would. We didn't get to everything, but we got to enough for now. ;)

So awesome, you are brave, and it sounds like you explained things really well to her, not too much, not too little...enough for her to come back for more. Yay!

❤️🙏 She's a very kind person in general, so it was easy to share. Another friend, though, that I shared the "Plan to Save America" video with pretty much does not speak to me anymore. But that's okay. Maybe sometime down the road. Truth always rises to expose lies.

I have a few very liberal friends, I wonder what we ever had in common...I shared with one, just that i didn't get vaxxed, and it was as if I had committed the worst crime ever. It was so sad. My sister and my daughters have a no "conspiracy" zone, as they call it. I tried, but I love them and want them to come to me when they need to. Your experience makes me feel a bit braver though, about just finding the right situation and sharing truth. Thank you for sharing!

I take a more passive approach with adults. Sometimes I play dumb and have them explain things to me. It can be amusing. Then I ask a question here or there that gets them to think.

Sadly and often I'm met with a shrug and a dive into their phone so as to not have their worlds shatter. It's a bit NPC like.

But sometimes, for some people, I'm met with agreement. But it's not enough for them to question further. But I just keep pecking away little by little. Same method.

People's ego's are fragile. I include myslef in that company, which can be helpful so I can have more empathy.

I've learned to not go full speed. They just shut down. I know several purple pillers.

You can take a horse to water...
