It's really best to leave them alone and walk the other way.

I had a liberal doctor gf 20+ years ago. Arguing, presenting facts is futile. I'm pretty sure she felt the same way. Turned into a relationship of sending links and books that the other would never read. Frustrating to say the least.

Case in point - she (single person) had 2 cars. As I'm being forced to recycle every can of beer, I said, "Isn't 2 cars bad for the environment? it takes twice the natural resources out of the ground to produce, twice the child labor, twice the gas to ship here, twice the shipping container space that could be used for other things, etc."

Her response, "No - I only drive one at a time." Uggh.

She must have not quite heard the ‘twice the child labor’ part. Either that, or deliberately ignored it.

This is a fact that our EV loving progressives who think that electricity comes from the wall do not want to reckon lest their brains explode in self- immolating horror.
