When you don't understand them, that's how you know you're in a bubble. Try getting out and talking to them.

"So what has you so upset?"....."Comet Ping-pong pedo ring, contrails, Q, where we go one we go all, derrrrr" Nope, coming in loud and clear, not a bubble problem.

  Is that a conversation you had or a summary of what you’ve read about your political opponents on the internet?

    ok, let's be real- "Hi, what's the issue?" -Me "I believe the 2020 election was stolen, I read it on X internet source plus foxnews has been reporting on it, and everyone I know says it" - Person "Well how do you know they aren't lying?" - Me "How do you know they aren't, I also trust my friends and family, read this random news article from suspicious site" - Person "Do you think we should punish people who spread false information" -Me "No, freedom of speech, also I still believe the 2020 election was stolen. If Democrats are just going to steal elections that means my vote doesn't count and I'm not really in a democracy, this justifies civil war" - Person

I saw a woman say that Biden created SpaceX to capture the votes as they traveled through the satellites. They were then changed to Biden. Now that I've heard this what greater understanding do I have? But what you really mean is listen to their grievances and anger at being left behind economically. I'm aware of this but it doesn't justify destroying democracy with false accusations of election fraud.

Considering high-level members of the Republican party and their supporters are following the cult QAnon, I think they're beyond convincing. https://www.newyorker.com/news/our-columnists/why-is-trump-openly-embracing-qanon-now https://www.newyorker.com/news/our-columnists/why-is-trump-o...

I've tried talking to election deniers; all I hear for supporting evidence is disproven conspiracy theories and what-about-ism.

    Please show me these videos of ballot harvesting. If you point to 1000 mules let’s be clear it’s legal to drop of family members ballots, name the mules, and gps data is easily debunked by knowing voting locations are found in high trafficked areas public transports, Ubers, mail services, Ect can account for people being at multiple locations over time. It’s not rocket science.

      >If you point to 1000 mules let’s be clear it’s legal to drop of family members ballots I think the issue was there isn't a good explanation for making multiple trips to different ballot drop-offs all over the state with different batches of ballots, and then taking pics as proof that they were delivered. Doesn't seem like what you would do when dropping off grannies ballot. Doesn't mean an election was stolen though, Trump was unpopular enough to lose to Biden without help. But we probably shouldn't call people election deniers who point out the shenanigans that are on video and think we need to tighten up our procedures.

        "good explanation" is subjective and regardless this isn't proof. What you are showing is something YOU think is suspicious and offering it as evidence.
