6. All they hear is *the economy is booming again*. Data, numbers crunched, facts?

Nah. They ain't listening. That's fake news. Words need not match reality for them. Not even when their own wallet is lighter by far.

Ever try explaining viral shedding to a Trumper? Their eyes literally glaze over. Then they get this look on their face and claim that can't be a real thing.

I can direct them to the tweets but leading a person to knowledge won't make them think.

Still, very helpful information and explanations.

Thank you!
