    I agree. Unfortunately this country has a big problem with education, intellectualism, and science.

    I’m not sure how we dig our way out of this hole since it’s decades in the making and there’s renewed vigor for opression.

      The only time I’ve seen a super conservative person change their beliefs was when two of their fundamental beliefs came in conflict with each other and the conservative side became a problem: An empathy-free asshole I’m acquainted with had a grandchild that was immunocompromised (no idea if it was permanent or what caused it) when COVID hit.

      He wore masks everywhere except his house. He told me that that the people at his church “insulted him” and “practically kicked him out” for refusing to remove his mask. He basically made the decision at that point in his life that maybe these people weren’t the best people after all and he stopped going to church.
