I'm feeling what you are feeling. For most of my life I labored under the impression or false idea that if I explained my position and what I was seeing and basic facts we all know, those who were making bullshit arguments would say, "Oh, I see your point" and all would be good. Nope. They just come up with well worn talking points that have no basis in fact. Talking points they learned in University or from main stream news. There are no facts you can state that will impress them or change their mind. I've seen them do this on point after point, person after person and it slowly dawned on me that it's a wasted argument. It's lost on them. They are unable to take a set of real world facts and apply them to a new understanding. For instance, I explained to a coworker about fiat currency and our monetary system back about ten years ago when I first realized it can not last as is. I always thought that these doomsday predictions of the dollar collapsing was pure bullshit until I did my own research on monetary systems and the Federal Reserve Bank and how it functions. In about a month I came to the unhappy realization that our system was so deeply flawed that a collapse was inevitable. I patiently explained all this to a coworker and he laughed. He said as long as he had cash to buy beer and enjoy his weekend he was fine. The money was good. Totally didn't understand a thing I had said. Same people will insist that covid is real, masks work and grandma died from covid. No, dumbass, your grandma was killed for $40,000.00. Nice work if you can get it.
