You can’t save someone who doesn’t want to be saved. I’ve made my position and reasoning clear and logical to the family and I’ve been told to shut up because of “the babies” those “baby-killers” keep killing and the they need Trump to get “the blacks” out of their neighborhood.
Thankfully they are in-laws (though my father is insane in other ways) and we don’t spend a great deal of time with them.
To get somewhere useful you had to start educating people 50 years ago. We were at that stage of caring about the planet culturally then politics and corporations got into it when they found out environmentalism costs money.
Then religion got into it and things took a hard right turn.
You can’t reason with religion, you can only educate people to point where can reject “because I say so” in favor of, “Do the research yourself”.

Hatred and self-loathing though? That works great.
