How do you manage Facebook friends who are brainwashed and believe #vicvotes was corrupt based on a feeling
@Digital_Wombat I don't, but maybe point out that it's much easier to persuade people, than to cheat them out of something. And Andrew Bolt feels like he's cheating the system by talking populist RW trash. Basically, the guy is Dan's best possible PR man.
@rood I am not sure why but animal rescue groups seem to be riddled with anti vaxers who believe in the RDA propaganda

@Digital_Wombat Depends on what outcome you want.

In my opinion the 'correct' but also the most emotionally draining way is to continue to treat them like you would your fellow human beings, but assert your boundaries if they start forcing political talk on you.

Right now I'd probably wait a week or so for them to diffuse their anger and frustration before engaging with them on more normal and non-political terms.

@Digital_Wombat keep asking them for proof until they crack the shits and block you... or you just do what I did and leave FB!!

@Digital_Wombat feelpinions... Wow!

I bet they want to sack Dan... Who is the only dictator who actually is elected from (*checks notes*) free and fair and transparent elections... ;)

@rod sadly they fell down the anti vax wormhole and they really haven't been able to get past the false information in that universe

@Digital_Wombat sometimes, you just have to disconnect and hope they come around to their senses.

They may never. :(
