      That’s true. I should stop getting triggered by those. But still, more ammo would be nice. At the very least other people would see the evidence and won’t listen to them.

        Sometimes people need more evidence to see the truth. Most of the time people do not have the emotional or educational scaffolding to even understand the evidence. If those people were capable of empathy they would not need to rely on an authority figure to tell them what to think.
