    And when you are dealing with people who hate education and deny science, it’s a futile effort

    Agreed. If facts don’t meet their ideology, then the facts can’t be true.

    There is actually a term for that. It’s a form of cognitive dissonance called “belief disconfirmation paradigm”

    Cults especially, suffer from this. When their predictions of doom don’t come true they double down. Sort of like when the world is going to hell in a hand basket, which it has been for last couple of centuries or so.

    I’m going to cross-stitch that onto a pillow. It pretty much sums up my life.
