Comment on Ask HN: How to deal with loved ones that are affected by fake news?

Comments

I remember reading this article about Daryl Davis the black musician who converts Ku Klux Klan members ( https://www.theguardian.com/music/2020/mar/18/daryl-davis-bl... ). If I'm correct one of his trick was to let people talk and ask them questions that would highlight the inconsistencies in their talk.

Funnily enough, I think that strategy works better on strangers that hate your identity group as opposed to familiar people that ostensibly love and respect you. Why? Mere exposure.
