Well then you misunderstand the purpose of these types of interactions. You aren't trying to convince the person you're talking to. You're trying to convince the audience.
No, when I'm talking to family members, my goal is normally to try to convince. Instead I receive anger and refusal to engage honestly. The fact that I research events independently and don't just blindly believe what's said on the news is used as justification to label everything I say as "wrong". I have no idea how to debate against that.
