If I tried to explain that to someone who’s not educated enough, they’ll probably stare at me blankly, then shrug and say something to the effect of “Well, you never know what to believe these days” and change absolutely nothing about their stance.

Wow, I never knew I had conservative-related PTSD, but here I am having vivid and terrifying flashbacks to just that scenario.

I could try to come up with some bullshit home remedy solution and insist "That's what my pa alwys did, helps every time!" and when it doesn't work for you, double down angirly "Well it works for my pa, you're just doing it wrong"?

Or I could acknowledge that I'm not actually qualified, and all I can do is say "Sorry to remind you of that"
