If you try to disprove their theories it's just "well of course, that's what they want you to think"

Hmm. Good question. First thing to understand is why they believe that stuff I suppose.

This. There is no semblance of truth to any of it and its all easily disprovable. If they believe anything they read on the Internet, you have already lost them.

I think these people can be cured. Just have to do it the right way.

People like this are too far gone. Either just accept them and try to not talk politics or cut ties with them.

Cut contact or take their beliefs seriously and figure out ways to get them to question their beliefs. It is important that you dont attack them, because that puts up mental blocks that makes it harder for someone to think about what they think.

What kind of things are they saying? Not too familiar with the specifics of Qanon, or at least not the latest stuff.

Mainly the "Trump is secretly waging war against the deep state and will arrest tens of thousands of politicians and celebrities" part. Also that COVID-19 is a hoax by the elite to keep us all under control.

He's always been a Republican but he was at least not a batshit crazy one until now

They're fucking morons.

Mystery solved. They'd have gotten away with it, too, if it weren't for that meddling me.

If he's intelligent like you say, then present good evidence against it while at the same time admitting fault when there is fault.

The fake news agenda conspiracy shit is fueled by shit like the coronavirus magically not affecting protesters. If you say something like mass gatherings are bad, stick with it.

If you don't own up to that shit, he's not going to concede because he'll see you as being forcefully ignorant.

This is something I'm wondering about as well. These people aren't even worried about being correct about what they're saying. As long as someone says some bullshit that they agree with, they believe it 100% and attack you for posting facts that show they're wrong.
