And it is definitely true that most people can not be convinced. And I am not talking about unintelligent people either. I am talking bright people who are sharp in many other aspects of their life. It's like a certain part of their psyche has been brainwashed and there is zero awareness or ability to test or research information. There is also an anger associated with it too.

I was in a meeting yesterday with a couple otherwise very sharp people. I said I wanted to go home to watch the rest of the Impeachment hearings. And anger rose. And then "I would consider voting for a Democrat is there was a single thing that they ever did to help the American people!". A statement that could easily be disproved with 5 minutes of research.
