E.g. abortion rights, anti-LGBTQ, contempt for atheism, Christian nationalism, etc.

    You’re being down voted for facts lol. We’re emotional, often irrational beings. How/when we present facts matters

      Social beings as well. I wouldn’t even say it’s about how you present facts. We are pretty bad at interrogating our own reasoning for things. We will quote facts when asked for our reasoning, but once you start really digging in it’s often not really about that.

      I actually just finished reading “How minds change” by David McRaney and would recommend it to anyone.

      But if I had to summarize my biggest takeaway: you can’t really change someone’s mind, you can just facilitate convo with them that leads to them changing their own mind to some degree.
