    I read an article that said that when you tell people that their opinion is wrong and explain to them how they are wrong they will tend to double down in their wrongness rather than change their opinions.

    However, as little as I think of the average Republican, I believe that there could be outliers who are capable of rational thought and opinion change and I would prefer not to give those exceptional Republicans the opportunity to help revise playbooks that could lead to the further destruction of Western democracy.

      You can’t change a conservatives mind. You can only try to shame or humiliate them enough with their own positions to keep them from actually voting.

      Most conservatives and Republicans would rather not vote than switch parties.
