Fox viewers STILL imagine that foreign exporters will simply reduce their profit margins to 0, or even go into debt, for the privilege of selling trinkets to Americans. (sh.itjust.works)

There's been studies that far right fascist supports have a smaller "empathy" section to their brain. You have to know how to approach soaking to someone like that. They only care about stuff when it affects them. In order to reach these people, you need to highlight that these things ARE hurting them, and it will continue to get worse.

You are describing most of my family.

I have degrees in Econ and Poli Sci.

I explained everything to them, how it would hurt them, in detail, for years.

Didn't work.

I now live many states away from them, seeing as the last time I talked to my dad he was full QAnon bonkers, and also building ghost guns (untraceable AR 15s and AR 18s) in his garage.

Logic doesn't work when too much of their personal identity is wrapped into the cult identity.
