xychloroquine was shown to be dangerous by science. None of it's true. Absolutely none of it.

So I've been chipping away at him. So you know I sent him the reports about the UVC light in a ventilator that's injecting a disinfectant. So now he understands that the drinking bleach thing was a hoax. I also sent him the CNN update about the mail-in votes. So now he believes that mail-in votes are in fact racist and undependable. So once you take somebody's firm belief and you completely obliterate it, what do they do? Do they say, you know I was quite fooled by that fake news. Now that you've informed me I change my opinion and I acknowledge that you were right and man was I completely wrong up until now. Thank you for correcting me. Did that happen? No. No.

But here's the fun part. What didn't happen is cognitive dissonance. Cognitive dissonance is when somebody finds their worldview is wrong and then they just spout word salad. Instead he simply softly redirected the conversation. And here was his answer. He talked about voting rights as a partisan issue. He talked about vote suppression and how not enough people vote. So his answer to everything, you believe from the news about mail-in voting being dependable from the same sources that told you it was dependable, they now say unambiguously it's a mess. He didn't say, oh gosh I was wrong. He said there are other problems with voting unrelated. Now what that means is, and if you study persuasion you can kind of see where this is going, that is somebody who's been persuaded. Someone who has not been persuaded would say something still on the topic but it just wouldn't make sense. Here he's saying things that make complete sense but he's quite intentionally changed the conversation without mentioning it. That means bullseye. That he understands that he has been fooled. And I gave him some other debunks. We'll see if that makes any difference.

I still think the biggest issue about the coronavirus is the question of whether the president did enough testing. And when I found out more about other countries and how they did allegedly superior testing I say to myself let's dig into that a little bit. Why is it that some other country did better testing
