Some people just fear what they don’t understand or if they think believe it’s going to turn their world (job/ scary propaganda, or even shift global economics to (more) scary scenarios. Sensationalized headlines and click bait titles make it all that much worse. It’s hard to have an open conversation about any subject if all participants have not agreed to hear the facts and have a honest dialogue.

“If someone got to their viewpoint without using reason, there is no reason that you yourself can’t use to change their stance.”

I try to remember that, but honestly I do let my passion for the subject I’m trying to convey overriding it more than often haha. You'll find people who see what you see and for the others that black you? It just saved you the time and energy you would have spent on them for someone that will appreciate your effort.
