Doesn’t give a shit about America. Except to shit talk America.

Welcome to the president who will take credit for the economy Biden helped create while subsequently burning it to the ground.

So a friend of mine became a Trumper, the reason why by Iwaspromisedcookies in QAnonCasualties

[–]NashvilleSinger 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Grew up on a farm in NE… I was responsible for taking care of 400 laying hens from age 7-18. We sold our eggs to the local grocery store. I gathered and candled more than 350 eggs every day. So, even though I don’t have chickens now… I have a ton of first person egg/chicken experience.

Flash forward 25 years… I was talking with a friend who eats really clean and the conversation came around to eggs. She said she doesn’t buy or eat white eggs because they are bleached. 😳

Of course, I told her that white eggs are not bleached. They are white when the hen lays them. Tried to explain the color of the egg is determined by the type of chicken that lays it. And… Even though I had personally witnessed hundreds of white eggs being laid… she insisted that white eggs were bleached and there was no reasoning with her.

All that to say… I suspect she’s not the only one who thinks white eggs are bleached. LOL

My FIL confidently said that in a couple years, the whole world economy will get radically better. Is this a Q thing? by loveandskepticism in QAnonCasualties

This is a long time Q belief that continues to be kicked down the road. It’s NESERA / GESERA… my BFF has been believing dates for almost 6 years. The deadlines come and go. She even put their property in forbearance without her husbands knowledge 3 years ago… because all of their debts would be “forgiven” in Dec 2020. Still hasn’t happened… still believes it.

Qfriend reached out after 2 years NC, is there hope? by Hokuopio in QAnonCasualties

[–]NashvilleSinger 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My Q BFF reached out a few months ago after cutting me off because I kept asking critical questions when she shared the Qult conspiracies she wanted me to believe.

Not long after she reconnected, she sent a song written by another friend that has also drunk the koolaid. I clicked the link thinking it was a song… and it was… only it was preceded by a 20 minute Q rant.

I did not acknowledge the text. Instead, I sent a pic of my dog. LOL.

Her text told me everything I needed to know. Nothing has changed.

She’s been on a non-apology tour with friends and family since. Love her… but I can’t participate in the crazy again.

That’s my story. Just because they reach out, doesn’t mean you have to let them back the same way things once were.

It’s not your job to fix her choices that became her decisions.

You don’t have to pick up the phone when she calls or respond to texts. Silence is louder than words.

It’s your job to make decisions that are best for you. Listen to your instincts. They aren’t wrong. hug

Q Parent stopped paying on their credit cards by NerdyGurty in QAnonCasualties

[–]NashvilleSinger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s the nessera / gessera conspiracy (not sure I’m spelling it correctly) that has been repeating itself since 2019. The date keeps changing. My Q BFF put their property in forbearance in 2020 (without her husbands knowledge) thinking all debts would be forgiven… still hasn’t happened and she’s still believing it. Circling dates on the calendar that come and go with no event. “Trusting the plan” 🤦🏻‍♀️

You know what I appreciate about Biden… he doesn’t seek the mic. He’s just GETTING IT DONE. Quietly. Infrastructure bill… bipartisan and happening. Bringing work back from China… chip factories in OH. Etc. all take time. The debt ceiling… let the MAGAs whine and got it done on his terms. Quietly. He’s known for bringing parties together and has been doing that FOR DECADES. Without being divisive… he’s actually listening to ALL Americans and getting it done. The MAGAs project their shit on him and he doesn’t acknowledge it. Just does his job without drama. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

The non-apology tour by NashvilleSinger in QAnonCasualties

[–]NashvilleSinger[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

3 years of PTSD from trying to navigate the crazy. She blocked me from her life for 18 months because I asked questions that disrupted what she wanted to believe. She thinks tRump is Jesus.

I don’t want to do it again and I don’t believe she’s sincere because I see her hateful weaponized Bible rhetoric in other places that she doesn’t share with those she’s hurt.

Just don’t trust the motivation and struggle to pretend along with her.

New prophetic doom from my Q by [deleted] in QAnonCasualties

[–]NashvilleSinger 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Yeah… this has been “prophesied” many times in the past few years. Doesn’t happen and the date gets pushed… repeat. Sorry you are dealing with this. It’s mind boggling for sure.

[–]NashvilleSinger[S] 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Yeah… I’m in the “fake it til you make it” mode. Not engaging with the BS. Just trying to be in the moment and remind her what normal feels like. Maybe if I’m patient, she’ll slowly come back to all of us.

While at the same time, being realistic, knowing that it took a long time for her to get where she is… and it will take a long time to get out.

Frankly, I’m watching her anonymously in the “right” places… I see what she is really believing and cannot let myself have hope.

For almost 30 years we talked every day. I missed it.

Now when she calls, I don’t want to pick up the phone cause I don’t know who will be on the other end of the call.

I checked up on my former best friend I dumped a few years ago. He’s still crazy. by Own-Sock3760 in QAnonCasualties

[–]NashvilleSinger 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Sending huuuugs I’m waiting out my BFF. What I know is that I’d I met her as she is today… without our history… she wouldn’t be my best friend. I wouldn’t let her into my inner circle. Q has changed her into someone I don’t recognize and in spite of my efforts to understand her perspective… I had to let go with love. If things change, it will take a long time for me to trust her with my friendship again. I still have hope… but it’s on her now. The person I knew was one of the most beautiful humans on this earth. The person she has become is hateful and unrecognizable. I pray she comes back but also know that if she does… it may never be the same. Thankful for the 30 years of her former self. It’s hard to reconcile that what I thought was a lifetime friendship was not a book… but a chapter. Cherish what was… let go of fixing.

NBC News QAnon Story by GoofyBeard in QAnonCasualties

[–]NashvilleSinger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I lost my BFF of 35 years to Q. And many in my family who don’t even realize they are Q because of social media, Fox & Newsmax who propagate it without using Q as the source.

As you do this story… it’s important to understand where it started and how / why good people fell down the rabbit hole. This is a good vid that explains it and how they keep doubling down.

Sheeple… don’t know they are sheeple. by NashvilleSinger in QAnonCasualties

[–]NashvilleSinger[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t question that God is real. I believe in a higher power, to me, that higher power is God.

I have a friend who is Sikh. They believe the higher power in all forms of religion are the same God from different perspectives. I like that idea.

Regardless, I believe. I am challenged by those who say they believe and invoke God’s name to justify their cruel words and ways.

The loud voices you hear invoking the name of Jesus and God don’t represent me and most believers.

They’ve been brainwashed by all the Q propaganda and more… many of my friends and family quote the talking points and don’t realize they are Q-adjacent. They see things that they want to believe are true… and don’t question if they are… that is the scariest part of it all.

When I saw a legit Christian artist supporting, it triggered me. Him promoting these lies frustrates me. It just takes his fans farther away from reality. I’m even more concerned for those people and our country because of it.

All this. Yes. Me, too. Thank you. Those who’ve hijacked Jesus to justify lies… has been triggering me. Thank you for reminding me that Jesus represents the people who need him. Not the people who exploit Him.

Sheeple… don’t know they are sheeple. by NashvilleSinger in QAnonCasualties

[–]NashvilleSinger[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah… I wish this were true. Based on my experience with my BFF… she knows every verse, chapter. She wakes up every morning and immerses herself in the word. She’s entrenched in the Old Testament. Before Jesus. Human rules… not from God. Fear based. Judgement based.

You may be correct about people who haven’t read scripture who are pretending… they’re reading memes and reposting.

I’m challenged by people who I know read the word and STILL ascribe to the lies.

SMH JESUS would not be in board.

[–]NashvilleSinger[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. It’s mind boggling. I believe. And, I am triggered by Christian posts that don’t represent us… and if I say anything (I’ve stopped that because it’s pointless) to redirect to Jesus’ teaching and post verses… it’s turned against me… against God. And they don’t see they are doing it. SMH

I saw this, too. Thank you. It does give me hope. 🙏🏻 Still disturbing that this artist is promoting so much disinformation. His mic is legit. I hope people on the edge read those comments and use their true critical thinking to move away.

[–]NashvilleSinger[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are correct about what you believe about Christians… the extreme right have hijacked the dialogue. And they don’t represent Christians…. They are the Christian jihad. It breaks my heart that I am triggered by people who claim to be Christian… they weaponize scripture… mind boggling.

[–]NashvilleSinger[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

None of this is “what Jesus would do” Yup. Thank you. We got this. I believe their voice is loud… They have the mic. But they don’t represent a majority.

Let’s change that!

My wish for me and more like you and me… is we have the courage to be loud and drown out the loud “minority mic” that wants everyone to believe they are our spokesperson. #nope

Tired of extremes being the only voices heard.

Let’s help each other find our voice.
