Do you see how if the other side has this same mentality then nothing really changes?
I don't rightly expect whether I watch propaganda to change the opinions of those that believe it. Just because "they" won't consume content I know to be good, that means I should consume content I know to be bad to balance it out?
You sound like you think each of us is quantum entangled with someone on another side.
They haven't even watched the video.
Their entire schtick is "both sides".
The "other side" can't be helped with mere words because they've been conditioned to ignore reality (or they've picked their position on feelings and don't want to change). Libs watching Benny shaps lie and support genocide isn't going to change the maga electorate.
As soon as you find a conservative who doesn't lie, let me know and I'll check out some of their content, but I don't think there's literally a single honest gop supporter these days.
The other side says things like "I'd still vote for him even if he shot my dog." There is no rationality there; there is no benefit to listening to cultists.
