Re: Red pilling attempts. Good luck. The vst majority of people I have met either don't want to hear it or are convinced by the usual suspects that you are an abject "conspiracy kook", even if the facts are commonly known, easily verifiable, and even reported in the MSM. They don't want to play dot to dot, they don't want to think, they don't want to see through any lens but the rose colored glasses they have on. Any attempt to make them do so will be greeted with derision, shunning, or both.
Others are on the fence. They know there is more to all this than the media are telling them, but aren't sure how far it goes. They don't like the feeling of being profoundly helpless to change anything, to do anything about it, and some are afraid to raise their heads for fear of being somehow targeted. You'd be amazed at how many were fearful of being singled out (out of the vast background) for acknowledging in private conversation that the Clintons were crooked, and the general distrust of government and politicians, already present, has only escalated from there. Still, despite privately acknowledging there is a problem, these people do not want to make waves.
There are the people who have a careful handle on the corruption, likely not all of it (something they admit freely) but the verifiable or strongly indicated by circumstantial evidence corruption out there, and the Liberal Agenda. While many of these people are religious, they may or may not have made the connection between spiritual warfare and the machinations of the Leftists in general and even some on the Right.
Then there are people who need no 'medication', who see clearly, whose scales have fallen from their eyes and understand what forces are at play and what is at stake.
There is no point in trying to red pill the first group. They flee to the comfort of their chains, and their delusions, that warm dark cell in which they feel safe. Any attempt to rout them from those abodes of the psyche will be met with resistance unparalleled except for perhaps trying to displace a badger or wolverine from its den.
The second group can be gently and gradually shown the depths of depravity if gently guided through the mass of information which indicates just what is going on out there. Move too fast, though, and you'll lose them, short of them having a personal experience that amounts to an epiphany.
The third group is already seeking more information, and mere guidance is plenty.
The rest need no pill.
Note, I left out the players themselves, who are well aware of their actions.
The 'bell' curve is seriously skewed toward the first group, and tapers fairly rapidly toward the fourth, from what I have seen. Perhaps the distribution is more bimodal (1 and 3 or 1 and 4) than I give credit.
But, in general, those have been my observations.
