I'm not sure how to reach them.

Over the July 4 holiday I was assured by a 71 year old man that "the south is full of Islamic militant cells, because Obama opened the floodgates and let them all in. And the FBI isn't allowed to investigate them."

I'm sure that he also believes that Hillary was coming for his guns.

Any fact we bring up to refute this nonsense is dismissed as "fake news." They are convinced of their alternate reality.
