    You can’t use reason to convince someone out of a position they didn’t reason their way into… I agree that should still be the first step, but I wouldn’t expect it to work for the majority of them. Cognitive dissonance is a bitch to overcome, especially if they aren’t willing to accept the possibility they might be wrong.

      What’s the alternative?

      Jail them? Forever? If not, one day they’ll be free and angrier than ever.

      Deport them? Where?

      Ignore them? That doesn’t sound like a good idea either

      The only real solution I see is reason with them. It’ll be hard, it’ll be stupid, bit I don’t see ma y other solutions
