Well, you did what you could. Can't reach everyone right away. Sometimes people need to have time to stew a bit and process new information. Sometimes it takes repeated exposure to the new ideas before they become more open to them. Which is why we should never stop explaining, even if it's frustrating.

I was very quick to start bullying them here, other people here were far more patient than I was. I think libs like this give their game away very early, and shouldn't be coddled, but mocked for their smug ignorance, I do appreciate the people dropping actual sources, I didn't make a big deal out of that because I've seen this liberal song and dance a thousand times, they demand sources, then either don't read them at all, or skim just enough to know they don't agree with them and demand "better" sources that confirm their preconceived notions. It's a waste of time trying to get them to read, but hopefully people watching the conversation read them at least.

I know I certainly do. Or let's say i try to do so whenever i have the time, even if i am already familiar with the subject. It's good to read more about a topic from a different angle that i hadn't considered before. So i am always thankful when comrades provide sources in their comments. I'm often too lazy or short on time to do the same, but i really should.
