You can't. Some people are just gone. They've been inoculated against proof and even science.

@Crazywaterspring And unfortunately this is not exclusively an American problem. The ascent of populists across the West and beyond is coincidental with the new post-truth reality. They feed off each other and are fed in turn by propagandists who masquearade as news organisations. To put an end to this descent into madness there needs to be a reckoning with social media platforms (already happening) and poisonous right-wing media. (Still a long way off.)
@RodionRomanovitch So burning, looting by the Left, completely fine. Your blind hypocrisy is showing. 😂

@stratosranger And your whataboutism puts you firmly in the category of people I described.

@RodionRomanovitch Also known as bothsiderism. It what conservatives day when confronted with their own bad behavior. It's also used as cover on the Sunday morning talk shows. Bullshit.
@RodionRomanovitch Thank you for proving my point.

@stratosranger The only thing you proved is just how vacuous your argument is.
@RodionRomanovitch I know I know you don’t like having your hypocrisy exposed. But it just was. 😄
