Straight up most republicans/conservatives, especially the older set, as a rule do not change their minds or opinions about things nor do they take new or corrected information into account. Whatever the first knowledge they acquire on any subject is the truth and always will be the truth.

Anecdote: My wife & I have turned her mother & step-father away from the GOP. In their 70’s.
How?
8+ years of pointing out their constant lies & hypocrisy & how Trump part 2 is taking every action they can to make America be more like Russia.
The Epstein cover up & new Pope helped w/ my father in law, for sure.
Oh so they actually took in new data and adjusted their beliefs?
Amazing. My parents seem immune to reason.
My mother is as well. :(
I’ve shifted to just trying to convince them to note vote at all. Reminding them that they don’t need to vote, just because they don’t want to vote D.
And it’s absolutely fucking infuriating to even try talking to them about it.
