I don't think he meant they would be convinced - merely outraged.

Thank you; but it's not that they aren't convinced...they do not hear. It doesn't register. Facts do not intrude: objective information doesn't explode their heads because it can be instantly ignored since the source is a perceived adversary. It is a phenomenon I have also experienced outside of the political arena, trying to reason with a covert narcissist. As Trump said, he could personally cure cancer and he wouldn't get points with them.

Fear/trauma-based mind control that establishes a clear target for scapegoating so no actual self-awareness and thought are required.

Jimmy Dore - probably my favourite lefty, because he's a fundamentally honest and decent person in spite of his lefty delusions - has just started to question the whole climate change narrative, after years of me pestering him in his comment threads about "yeah, Jimmy, you know they're lying about everything ... EXCEPT climate change!"

So, sometimes it does happen.
