    Some people are like that, but some aren’t. Some people are convinced to hate a group because of lies, propaganda and confirmation bias. When the lies start to be exposed, it can also start to unravel the hatred.

    It can be difficult to expose lies in a way that is convincing, especially nowadays when media is so polarised, so people from another camp are likely to think you are lying if you challenge their existing beliefs. But this is obviously an example of people starting to realise they’ve been lied to nevertheless.

      When the lies start to be exposed, it can also start to unravel the hatred.

      If this were the case with MAGA, they would have stopped supporting Trump years ago.

      These people are in a cult. Simply pointing out lies isn’t enough.

        You assume that the things that informed you of trump’s lies were heard and found convincing by all the magas. Here’s living proof that people are capable of understanding, eventually.
