    This is a nice sentiment, but it unfortunately doesn’t work. Have you heard of the Backfire Effect? Their worldview isn’t built upon facts, and often times, showing them evidence of how wrong their worldview is only further entrenches them.

    If you want to undo the indoctrination, look up Deep Canvasing and apply it to people you have a relationship with. Trying to point out the hypocrisy to strangers on the internet as some kind of “gotcha” only pisses people off, and then they’re reacting out of emotionalism instead of rationality.
