The ones i've talked to are absolutely certain they are correct. You can't tell them otherwise. Even if you point out the problems in their theory, they just ignore them.
You’re right, people do care about where Obama was born, the percentage of voters who care about the issue are miniscule, compared to those who view people who claim Obama was born outside USA are nuts is overwhelming.
You may be aware of this, but if not, this will be useful information for you.
Back in the 1970s, this college professor did experiments to see what sort of influence the majority of people would have on an individual. He set up a classroom full of people who were accomplices to do tests on individuals. He would call in the actual subject and have them seated with the rest of the class, and then he would ask everyone to look at something and tell him what they saw.
The majority were instructed to lie about what they saw and say they saw something that clearly wasn't true. When the question got around to the actual test subject, 80% of the test subjects would agree that they saw the same thing the majority claimed to see. Only 20% would speak the truth against the majority who were lying.
These experiments are known as the "Asch conformity experiments, and they gave us insight into human nature.
*MOST* people will agree with whatever they think the majority believes, and the media works very hard to create the illusion that the majority believes what the Liberal Democrats want them to believe. This system is self reinforcing, and the more people persuaded to believe something, the more other people are also persuaded to believe it.
Eventually it becomes "common knowledge" and anyone disagreeing is a "nut."
And that's what we have on this topic.
It’s issues like this that make the entire MAGA and America First movement look like a bunch of whack jobs.
The media-liar system works pretty good, doesn't it?
I keep telling people that the media-liars ability to manipulate public opinion is the most serious threat this nation faces today.
They skew elections unnaturally. Indeed, media-lying is the primary method of rigging elections in this country.
People are absolutely certain that Obama was born in Kenya and they’re people who are absolutely certain of the opposite and dwarf in number of those who believe Obama is a Kenyan.
Personally, I believe the MAGA movement is the key to moving forward, in order to do that it can’t be 100% centered on Trump because 2024 regardless of the outcome will the end for Trump, either he wins, loses or goes to jail, who knows, but in the end, he will be over politically.
The MAGA movement has to be centered on those issues people really care about, the culture, the economy, etc., making it about rigged elections, who was or was not born in the USA, etc., are issues that discredit the movement, IMO.
For example, Parental rights in terms of what gets taught to the children is absolutely a winner of an issue, instead we are taking about the eligibility of Obama and Vivek Ramaswamy, it’s a waste of time on issues no one really cares about and takes away the discussion on issues people do care about.
