I will never truly understand why people think what AOC wants is "radical".
It's building a strawman to target - you have the epitome of what conservative non-intellectuals hate: Latina, Female, Young, Outspoken.
They find these as all disqualifiers, and it's very easy for the R's to attach to that messaging, and spill it out onto the population. It's unfortunately typical warfare and an expression of how media coverage biases reality. Her positions are clearly left but, radical as been pushed as everything that is not the status quo now. Add some fear mongering and you have yourself a target to aim at.
Any advice for arguing with QAnon people? I can’t believe it’s come to this
Yeah. The idea that Trump is one of the masterminds which is a true contradiction. Also before you block them, tell them how sorry it is to see people lost so deeply down rabbit holes of obvious bullshit that they’ve surrendered their brains to complete stupidity.
I feel like it’s gotten bigger than just blocking these people. Their argument is that it’s all a big cover up and everyone just doesn’t see it. How do you convince someone who argues in bad faith

The way the brain works, it is impossible for you to convince someone of anything. You have to make it seem like it was their idea. Factual information.
EDIT: I just want to add, that the brain will hold onto it's own belief so much that it will double down when that belief is challenged, further going down that path. We do not want to be wrong and our brain will tie circles to try to make it true.

If they are truly arguing in bad faith they don't actually care about being convinced or having their mind changed. If they actually believe deeply in conspiracies it's almost impossible to reach them.. as others have said. Almost certainly a waste of time. I'm not a psychologist but IIRC studies show it to usually be more about the group dynamics and a sense of identity over ridged belief in certain truths. That's one reason why it seems so impossible to reach through to folks with what you would think is simple facts. It's a little more complex than simply needing correct information.
Online there are other factors at play as well. I feel like I've posted this before but this is a really good Youtube series on the subject.... The Alt-Right Playbook. I'll link the playlist and then directly link a couple to start with in spoilers. The whole serious is good but it's a lot to go through.

This kind of stuff was the most valuable to me. I liked talking to people about different beliefs back in the day. At a previous employment, I had one Libertarian coworker and another Christian conservative coworker. We had some really good talks about politics. Same when I worked for the police dept. I was referred as the token liberal for the office but was able to have some good talks with coworkers once I passed the test about understanding personal responsibility was a thing. These people on Facebook are a whole different breed though. They love using the idea of good faith debate in order to pull people from outside their cult into circular arguments that only serve to frustrate you.
during one of the stops in our protest today, someone was grabbed and taken into an unmarked vehicle. pittsburgh public safety then tweeted that a person was arrested for "obstruction of traffic."

the person was one of our bike marshals helping to keep a safe perimeter around the group. the mayor is supposed to speak at 2pm, so just waiting to hear updates now. edit:a thread from the man arrested.

I saw my first crazy Qanon bullshit today. A massive banner hanging on an apartments balcony with tiny words explaining how Trump is going to arrest sex predators on September 17th. Guess I'll have to ride my bike by that place again on September 17th to laugh at them.

Peduto totally screwed this up. We need a progressive option next year. My ear isn't that close to the found though.
Was just reading the rumors from Congressional aides that there is no plans to push for a public option if Biden gets in... even tho most big race Dems are running on universal healthcare. That the healthcare lobby has a coming ad campaign attacking it, etc.

Constitution Day. These people are so delusional that they have even convinced themselves that Trump gives a sh*t about the constitution.
COVID does not exist. Masks are not needed. There is no coin shortage. Climate change is a myth. (it's just naturally getting hotter than hell). No body else needs health care but them. And Tump gives a shit about their pathetic little lives.

Hilldawg was supposed to have been arrested like 3 years ago. Now she's either dead, and it's double we see in public, or she's wearing an ankle monitor awaiting execution. Because she's one of the most powerful people in the word but all these evil forces can't escape Trump's secret pedo surveillance squadron.

Everyone needs health care. They just gotta pay for it like real Americans. No handouts for slackers and such.
