Have you ever had success changing a liberal's mind?

I am so weary trying to change the thinking of Liberals. Is it time to just give up on them?

You can’t.
Liberalism is a mental disorder and one can only have professional help when trying to overcome the gruesome illness.

Why bother? Their head is full of mush anyway. They're mentally ill.

I cured my own liberal leanings. There's a former lefty Arkansas fan on here that I take partial credit for. IRL, hell no and I went to one of those liberal bastion schools for 4 years

At some point, the real world usually does it.


If it doesn't, then it is a defective person.

Liberals are infallible know-it-all's, they're all mensa geniuses, and the rest of us are stupid idiots.

My BIL is a hopeless lib in a lot of ways, but at times he's very thoughtful and has conceded some key points against his way of thinking. Hes also a late bloomer in the maturity department (he's 5 years older than me) so this is somewhat a new phenomenon for him. He changed once he joined the real world (I.e got a career and a family, and stopped living with his mother).

Eta
I also think the fact that his MIL is a world class TDS loon pushes him at least more to the middle. We're talking clinically insane, former drug abuser who preaches death to Trump and his supporters day and night. He's a contrarian at heart. He'd be a solid troll on this board the more I think about it. Might post here for all I know.

Agreed.

If your mind is too open, your brain falls out

I think I swayed 4-6 voters during the 2016 GE. Most were originally Bernie supporters and were going to vote Hilldawg until I convinced them that Hilldawg screwed their baw Bernie.

I also made the case of why Hilldawg should have been in prison rather than running for POTUS.

It really discourages me to feel this way, but I just don't care about them anymore. I am a Christian and it goes against my belief not to care about people and try to help them.

They just don't respond to truth, facts, or logic.

no. no matter how much i present facts or evidence, they don't want to listen. they are completely irrational. they fly into hysterics whenever their practiced answers don't work. all they know how to do at that point is demonize and engage in fear mongering. i wish i was exaggerating.

Yes.

Some liberals have thought it was a good idea to argue with me. They soon discovered it is not. Not because I’m an exceptional debater. But because I’m annoying as hell.

So, in a way, I changed their mind.
