The more that is exposed about him, the more adamant they become that he is being unfairly treated,and persecuted because of all the 'good things' he is doing.

I've totally given up on any type of education for them...I let them post their off-the-wall fake memes without challenging them anymore, because nothing I say will make any difference at all at this point. Someone this morning posted the famous image of Elián González captioned as armed thugs taking a little boy away from his father, exactly the opposite of what was happening Nobody corrected them, and all the righties jumped in with 'see, they did it too!' comments. Totally hopeless.
