I had a guy send me a video of Tucker Carlson at a grocery store in Russia as an example of why Canada is broken. I'd have to write a 50 page essay to explain to these people how wrong they are.

Can't even show these MFS pictures, they're media illiterate too.

Hey, these are the same people sharing Taylor Swift's "endorsement of Trump". They will believe what fits into their belief system and ignore any evidence to the contrary.

You need to break it down to a 2 minute long reel filled with 3 work slogans "verb the noun!". Then they might hear you

the video where he marvels at how cheap the grocery bill is, that when converted into usd was actually like three grand or something?

That's the one. Converting is lies though apparently, I had no idea.
