  • These people are in their own reality. It’s a cognitive dissonance wrapped in layers of shoddy reasoning and tribal beliefs to keep it from unwinding. You can’t rationally reason with them and any attempt to do so will be seen as a personal attack. It’s the classic “you can’t reason somebody out of a position where they didn’t reason themselves into.”

    Best you can do is going along, acknowledge their pain or fear that’s somewhere at the basis of this cognitive dissonance and ask some questions that might get them to thing like asking them to explain who taught them this or the “so why would God cause a new pandemic?” type of questions from time to time.
