These are people who listen to and believe Alex Jones. There is no reasoning with them. My conspiracy believer ex-friend has an undergraduate in physics from Cornell, a J.D., and a Master's in biology and she not only believes the moon landing was faked but so was Columbine, and all of the other mass shootings. They are mentally ill. You cannot use reason. I've tried and tried.
