I've dealt with the same issue. I see it as a multi pronged issue.
Firstly, and most dangerously nowadays, is that most normies are propagandized. Convincing them they've been lied to is almost impossible to break, unless they feel immediate and sharp pain (in some way) because of the lies they've been fed.
Secondly, is that people, regardless of background, education, status, etc., are quick to justify their own actions, words, arguments, and beliefs, no matter how wrong they may be, so they don't have to accept responsibility for being wrong and admitting they have to change. People are very similar to simple physics equations when it comes to changing (a body at rest tends to stay at rest kind of thing), where comfortable people are loathe to change or accept alternative viewpoints unless the falsehoods and lies they believe cause themselves pain. The sharper the pain the more likely they'll change.
However, some people can be so hardheaded/dense/propagandized that they're perfectly willing to walk right off a cliff even if you shout at them the danger. Even truly evil people will justify everything they do. Unfortunately, the success of Western civilization has enabled this problem to get worse, from both aspects. It's enabled evil people to infiltrate our institutions and pump out endless propaganda, and it's enabled comfort among the populace (which is rapidly disappearing). It's like the stages of civilization meme: good times create weak people. It's the paradox of success. When times are hard, nature has more sway, allowing it to more easily weed out stupid people and stupid behavior. People work hard to overcome the challenges of those hard times, erecting barriers between ourselves and the dangers of nature. These barriers make life safer and easier, weakening the people over time, making them comfortable, and infringing upon nature's ability to weed out stupidity.

Ah, good, someone who understands the Bubble wrap culture is killing us.
