I think the problem with the right wing, is more problematic than changing their minds. They literally do not have enough information to change their minds. What would they change their ideas to, as they cannot see the answers in their minds eye.

It is like having the answers written in Chinese and all one can read is English. These answers are written in science and general knowledge.

Science actually has a term for this problem. It is called knowledge Directed Perception i.e. one cannot see what one does not understand.

You can tell they sort of sense this, as they are very defensive, and all they know how to do is lash out.
