Very hard to educate someone who doesn't want to be educated. Yet, we must keep trying. The hope is that a combination of consequences and our polite persistence will eventually create teachable moments.

I have relatives in Lancashire. One of them a very vociferous Leaver on Facebook who simultaneously was planning to retire to Spain.
Believe it or not they didn't in the end... because of Brexit and while it would be easy to sneer frankly I'm furious on their behalf

I understand your point, but I wonder where you would draw the line. Is more damage always better? Are there any harms you would feel are not worth the (hypothetical) advantage in future elections?
Further, is there a risk of demoralizing your supporters if you don't attempt to oppose grave harms?

It's a feature. Authoritarian regimes consolidate power by undermining all external sources of credibility. They recruit cranks and cooks to ignore and denigrate established knowledge painstakingly produced by expert communities.

Poor socialization is behind too many extremist ideologies.

Ah, the "Dark Enlightenment" -- the great dimming dazzles the dim.
They yearn for a new Dark Age where they can swing their katanas at passing serfs to impress fair maidens.

The dimming benefits the dim -- "Dark Enlightenment" is the, ahem, "intellectual" foundation of the push for the new Dark Age.

Terrific work, clearly explaining the impact of research funding. Thank you! I'm hoping that more trusted voices will engage in remedial voter education, which we've been sorely lacking.
