it's funny how a lot of 'intellectual dark web' adjacent dingdongs keep telling us how to convince Trump supporters to switch & how to convince antivaxxers to not be antivaxxers and how to convince QAnon people to not be QAnon people.
it's all bullshit. i'll tell you why

i used to be 1 of those people that often said "I'd be more woke if *this specific person* wasn't such a crazy idiot"
as long as I'd already made this bogeyman to oppose & put them on a fake pedestal (such as 'emperor of all public schools'), my mind was never going to change.

what changed my mind on all the 'woke' business was all the 'anti-woke' people showing their true colors as a bunch of lazy crybabies as all the 'woke' people consistently showed up.
nobody wants to be on the same side as a bunch of losers.

being nice to conservatives isn't really going to work. a lot of them are in cult. we don't need to pretend they have good intentions or whatever. it doesn't matter when their value system is divorced from reality
the fact is that there isn't tens of millions of people that is going to be reached by a more civil discourse. that is itself a conservative meme, something they wheel out after they poison the well over and over again.
the message 'conservatives' need to get is:
- cut the QAnon pizzagate crap or go to prison
- get vaccinated or get fired
- your family is tired of your bullshit and is ready to send you to a mental hospital

- get vaccinated or get fired

take, for example, a conservative that's 50+ years old.
what made them who they are? maybe leaded fuel, drinking, maybe they were abused. who knows. a longwinded chat about lipid nanoparticles isn't going to fix that.
Just tell them to get vaxed or get the fuck off your lawn

"informed consent" is me informing you that you are making the choice to get the fuck out of my life if you bring any of your conspiracy theory bullshit to my house
ppl that say: "we could persuade antivaxers if we were more polite & careful about presenting info" are themselves antivax & precisely the sons, daughters, cousins, husbands, wives that other people have already given up on
that's why they all have <5 follows on here

if a dude on twitter has less than a dozen followers and wants to tell you how *persuasive* he believes Trump is or make some other weird pedantic/meta point with you, then you're just wasting your time. may as well argue with street preachers. fun to do but dumb.
