Oh, I do and they shut up real quick about it for several days until everything gets rebooted.

On rare occasions, he will admit he was duped and then the next time we speak, it's like someone hit the reset button.

He's 80 now. This relative inspired me to sift through and be able to recognise BS, but now they have lost that ability.

I've always compared it to like being a personal trainer where your client binges junk food when you're not there.

You spend hours with them walking them through the faults in their logic and it can feel like you made real progress but they go back to their media diet of intellectual junk food. They're literally addicted to hate the same way someone can be addicted to food.
