When was the last time a stranger’s social media opinion changed your mind?

It happens to leftists daily. Whatever the 4 AM talking points are, the sheep eat up, even if it's contrary to what they were saying yesterday.

Never. No progs have changed my mind either. That's likely due to them being wrong and sky screaming is a bad look.

But we all expect ranting here will turn Toddy straight or VOR into a capitalist?

Happens to Dems everyday on DU.

Think the SC pick was made back in 88, Trumps playing the long game.

I've seen whatever Hannity says on something get repeated here within minutes of airtime, and then fifty or so people suddenly chime in and act like the issue is the most important thing in their lives, and whatever Hannity said was the God's honest truth of the matter. We see that kind of thing all day.

That is the power of advertising which includes a testimonial from an unquestioned source. One poster says it and insists that it is true, then 50 people repeat it and insist that it is true.

But this isn't a "failure" by one political mindset or another. Social marketing is effective. That's how companies like Facebook make billions of dollars.

I am inclined to believe that no minds were changed. They only hardened their positions.

That sphere face with the sunglasses... Dude is changing all the minds.

There are 2 types of people.

Those that think that advertising only works on other people.

And those that try to avoid advertising.

It seems like most people here aren't really concerned with changing minds so much as attacking critics. Sfp, NC Tigah, and a handful of other posters have definitely caused me to rethink opinions I hold or held by asking thoughtful questions. I like threads that go that route.

We've all changed our minds about Cruiser, Toddy, LowTBoy, awant, AssRobber...

We used to think of them slightly misguided human beings. Now we know they are incompetent raving lunatics.
