    No, you have to meet people where they are. You have to question their position until it becomes untenable and they give up. It never feels like a victory, but you have to hope that eventually it will make a difference…

      Honestly that is exactly the wrong way to do that. It will never work to question a position of someone so entrenched. If you are really interested in this look up cult deprogramming.

      You can do that, and I wish you luck

      If you argue with an idiot they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

        Reminds me of the one about the pigeon playing chess.

        For the uninitiated:

        “Never play chess with a pigeon.

        The pigeon just knocks all the pieces over.

        Then shits all over the board.

        Then struts around like it won.”
