I was kidding with my response to you, but in all seriousness....
Dale Carnegie in "How to make friends and influence people" includes the chapter with "You can't win an argument." And you pretty much outlined why.
I had the same argument with my liberal parents. My Dad used court's refusal to see the case as evidence that there was no case, and Trump (and people like me) should have been satisfied with that. The idea that the judges rejected the case not because it lacked merit, but because they were corrupt or threatened does not enter into his mind as possible.
I once spoke with a Chabadic Rabbi about this, and how difficult it is to reason with these people. He said: "There is no reasoning. The only thing that will get them to change their mind is a shock -- a big shock -- that does not correlate with their world view. No argument from you will be able to reach this level. It has to be from the outside."
That's why people here like to talk about their "red pill moment." It's the "big shock" that made them realize what they believed before was wrong. And it's rarely someone typing a clever message on an Internet forum.
