I will never stop saying this, that our whole nation is being held hostage by the segment whom believe WWE storylines.

If you try to drive facts and reason and logic at them, you are just fitting right into the role of the “Bad Science Guy” character introduced during the “Covid: Locked down - In A Cage” story arc. They are not siding with the nazis and mobsters because they present a great fiscal policy, they are siding with the “cool bad guys who can do whatever they want” and they delight in the hate they get because it validates their admiration of power. This is feelings, never, ever politics.

If you want to change how they think, you have to change how they feel, and while it doesn’t have to be exactly dangling accelerationism of race war, you can tug at people’s heart strings and change their narratives just a little, or you can make them more afraid of stories they haven’t paid attention to yet, like “climate change needs to be taken seriously because it’s going to make the migrant situation worse” off the top of my head. We don’t win with data with people who didn’t use data to get into their position.
