That's absolutely it. My Dad is a lifelong liberal and although he's quite smart and even questions some things (woke culture, etc) he just CANNOT get too far away from what he reads in "trusted sources."
Naming names turns people off. Ask them: why do countries go to war? Naturally they’ll say money and greed. Then you ask, what money? From what? They’ll likely say oil, gold, or military stocks.
Then you broach human trafficking and the high yield of profits involved. Why do countries at war leave women and children alive? A country with such low morals to push war, war, war for oil, would certainly not skip out on the opportunity for selling kidnapped people. Right? Drip the truth, like medicine. Hammering the truth pushes them away.
If you are feeling confident, you can also broach one reason why there is opposition against the Wall: it cuts off the supply chain of undocumented, easy to go missing, children. Let them connect the dots.
Hearing it from you is completely different than seeing Tom Hanks confess to such crimes at a military tribunal that is simultaneously broadcast on every channel.
Haha I agree.
I was explaining to my dad how Tom Hanks is a huge pedophile and my dad just did not want to believe it.
Oh my, I haven't even tried.
My roommate actually worked in anti-trafficking years ago, and I can't even get him to believe any of this.
Normalcy bias is like superglue for the brain -- keeps it glued shut.
