How do you insulate yourself while engaging them? I have a similar problem, close people who are imho thoroughly insulated, and that's the real issue; the insulation. It's not an accident or organic, it's induced. The information sources they trust relentlessly remind them to be insulated.

It's rather advanced propaganda, almost completely done with insinuation and emotional cues based on lies previously anchored.

Skipping the pre-chewed information sources by going directly to the sources that their trusted sources often mention but do not link to causes an emotional reaction.
