A green card holder from Argentina is detained in South Georgia’s Stewart Detention Center. His parents, who voted for President Trump, now regret their choice.
There was recently a story of someone whose kid died of measles, but they were still anti-vax in the interviews afterwards.
There are two main ways people change their mind. One is in-group pressure. If your friends and trusted people are telling you a thing, you’ll probably believe it. None of us are immune to this. Who you consider part of your in-group varies- some people fall for celebrity endorsements more than others, or view bad sources like Fox News as trustworthy.
The other thing that can change people’s minds is trauma. If you’ve been an anti-climate-change guy and your house gets destroyed by a freak super hurricane, you might reevaluate. Maybe. Of if a big KKK guy gets hit by a car and left a dead, and a black guy saves your life, they might reevaluate.

You’d think so but no, none of the reaearch I have seen indicates that. The only thing they do remember is Government response after the fact. Most don’t rewards those who would remove or minimise the tradgedy, only how they deal with.
Thinking on that, the insanity seems to be, the path to governerance seems to be to allow shitty things to happen and then deal with them well:) Of course eventually with climate change you’ll be overwhelmed but that will be for the next guy to deal with :).

But there’s no guarantee.

Don’t expect that group shit to work… they’ll still ignore it.
