Yeah thats funny!
I posted something on twitter yesterday about Obama and his magic wand quote... immediately had a lefty calling me an idiot for sharing proven lies and linked a factcheck.org piece. I went and found the youtube of him saying it and told her the first problem was using factcheck... she came back (to quick to have watched the video) and says I just made that up and did not even look into the facts and blocked me.

Lots of lefties are hopeless. But I’ve been trying a new technique that gets better results with the non-stupid variety. Ask and listen. (Yeah, I’m not good at resisting the urge to tell, but I try to at least hold back for a while!).
Sample Ask: Are you willing to let factcheck tell you what is true or have you tried looking for a video on youtube? (still sounds a bit snarky, but depends on my relationship with the person as to how much I can get away with)
If it’s someone I care about, I’ll try to lead them gently to the truth. If the person seems incapable of learning, I try to avoid talking with them at all. Though you’d be surprised. One of the most far left people I know has turned conservative! He voted for 0vomit twice but now is (mostly) a Trump fan. I’ve told him about Q and I think he’s mostly on the fence with that, but the important thing is that he “gets it” about the Deep State and leftwing participation in it. It didn’t hurt that I admitted I was wrong about no name and GHWB and probably GWB, too.
