Using the word “convince” means you might not fully realise what you’re facing.
You can’t convince the brainwashed, it’s not about what is said, but rather who said it. Unless you’re one of the authority figures they take their instructions from, there’s nothing you can say to convince them because as far as they’re concerned, you’re just a lyin’ lib’rul Satanist or some other bullshit.

Apologies if you took it as judging, that was not my intention. I’m just pointing out they only listen to whatever their authority figure is. The ability to reason about something is not in their toolbox
