Rational comments can't change a mind driven primarily by emotions, especially negative ones like fear. We humans are not rational beings at the bottom of the things, and our school system does little to fight that.

Thats why elections look like they look, that's why internet is not anymore a beacon of freedom and truth, but rather swamp of lies, manipulation and half-truths that one has to have a dedicated skill to navigate through. A skill many older folks (but not only them) simply don't have and probably never will, this covers ie my parents too.

Folks that will listen to those sweet little and big lies about how everything will be great without great changes and sacrifices, when reality is way more complex.

I honestly cannot tell if your speaking for or against my first hand account, or the vehement denier :/
