Start off by saying “here’s some real news” before you tell them. They’ll say they don’t believe you. But these kind of conversations affect people, no matter what they say to you in response.

Don’t fall victim to despair propaganda.
Fight! Be positive. Take an action every day.

What you do matters!

How stupid do you have to be to be conned by one of the dumbest men on the planet? P.T. Barnum was right, there is "A sucker born every minute".

Don't let them hide from the world. Make them face that they got conned.
May only work 1 in 5 times you say it, but that one time, the embarassment and cowardice you see on their face is worth it.
