Pascal’s trick won’t work with Liberals/Progressives. They are unreasonable.
So are most teenagers...
Would if you intercept the liberal talking points and replace it with the voice of reason? If they think it is liberal talking points, they’ll run with it. No convincing necessary.
It’s been noted that logic won’t get a person out of a position that logic didn’t get them into.
I have no proof but I strongly believe Pascal’s approach would not be effective in religious matters and to many socialists socialism is their religion.
