    They will not.

    It’s like everyone forgot COVID-19. The administration’s response and almost daily scandal during that barely moved the political needle, and people are even more siloed in now… I honestly don’t know what it would take.

      They need a concept of prejudice that’s simplistic (as in singular) in nature with with a tangible body of people or person/s to blame. It would also need to tie into beliefs that they heard or taught while growing up.

      Trying to get them to understand (put two and two together) the different facets of a conspiracy or something that is rigged tends to lose them when there is more than one thing at fault.
