I have written the school board race all up in detail and shared with the county R party email thread. Meeting in a couple of weeks to re-hash what went wrong and lessons we can learn for next time. Technically these races are non partisan so its critical to get the word out to conservatives who is the real deal as the left has mastered running as common sense moderates and then flipping to radical once elected.
You are doing good work. Most peeps in my area are in fact, Indifferent, and just want "Regular Life" back, whatever that means to them. I keep trying to educate peeps on what is really happening, but most don't want to put out any real effort.
I think that engaging them with questions, inductively inquiring their positions on topics, is the way to start.
I can sense your energy, and I know how urgent the issues upon us are.
I'm in CA, and I can tell you from my conversations with peeps, there are a TON of peeps that were former Dem's that are really truly middle of the road politically, but are seeing how Wacked/Crazy the left has become. That is a good sign here. I am a good example as I never really understood politics, but have read furiously over the last 3-4 years and am now caught up.
I credit an interview of Dave Rubin, Brett Weinstein, Jordan Peterson, and was it Douglas Murray? that created an interest for me to learn more, as they seemed Intelligent and balanced.
A lot of people say politics is boring, ugly, corrupt, etc. Easy button to not engage I guess. I grew up in a political household. I was 7 when Roe went down and my parents had us out there marching around planned parenthood. My late dad was an 'old school' D and very involved , remember going door to door with him in grade school. We talked politics at the dinner table. I left the D reservation in the 80's., although still supported a few D's here and there up until the Obama years when the party took a hard left turn. My dad was starting to see the light before he passed in 2014. It's just in my blood I guess, have always been involved but most of my friends just don't 'get it'. Have a new tribe since covid but lots of people new to all this, and new folks make lots of rookie mistakes. But we are all learning and need to quit bickering over tactics and unite under one big strategy grounded on the things we can all agree on. And that's locally, regionally, and nationally. Thank you for stepping up and getting educated!! My sister is in So Cal and a lonely conservative. She dipped her toe in the water back in 2020 and got involved with the Trump campaign but has since thrown up her hands due to ballot harvesting.
I "hate" political shenanigans as well--but I LOVE my freedom...and "free"dom is NEVER free...we must exercise our God-given, Constitutional rights in order to KEEP THEM STRONG--just like our muscles. Our country is now WEAK and FLABBY--ripe for the takeover by stronger, more arduous and dedicated to their "cause" country (China).
Oh and LOVE Jordan Peterson. I get on his video channel and end up losing hours. One of the smartest people out there. If you have not read Thomas Sowell, highly recommend. I get both men's audio books and listen while I do yard work or clean house.
We're all in this together - THE BATTLE BELONGS TO THE LORD GOD OF HEAVEN AND EARTH. So we must PRAY and PUT ON THE FULL ARMOR OF GOD--every time we leave our homes. When an opportunity arises to share the TRUTH of what is happening in our country (and world) be COURAGEOUS--swallow your fear and pride and SHARE, SHARE, SHARE. Bringing in the sheaves - we will come rejoicing (to paraphrase a very old Christian hymn).

Thanks I will pass those on!
So...you're the "apple" that didn't fall far from the "tree" of political activism--what a grand heritage to have, Donna.
Funny none of my other 3 sisters caught that bug. One does not even follow it at all, and if I try to talk to her, says she 'hates politics'.

Sowell is a legend. Mentioned in Black History month? Nope.
Good reminder that we need to speak up and tell those who talk about Black History Month that he needs to be included.
You know what Sowell thinks of Obamanation, don't you, Donna?
lol, answering your own question. :):):):)

I know all too many of those “get back to regular life” people 😕
