💯 Precisely.
Fascism isn't enabled by the dictator, it's enabled by the indoctrinated cult that, driven by emotion not facts, allows their leader to work against their own self-interest.
The voters & systemic misinfo is the much bigger issue.

I didn't have a single grey hair until I started arguing against the scientifically illiterate.
I'm not kidding. The post-2016 stress of viral disinformation is insurmountable and takes its toll on all of us.
The irony that this indoctrinated group considers themselves to be "critical thinkers" 🙄

Dr. Oliver, that's been my experience, as well.
I've gone back over the details/nuance, simply because I find this story so valuable to quickly bring the general public (IRL) up-to-speed on just how dangerous he truly is -- or how important vaccines truly are in public health.

@pauloffit.bsky.social reminds us of RFK's interference in Samoa: 5,600 cases of measles, 83 deaths, primarily children under 4y/o.
Multiply this by 150 times to appreciate the danger RFK Jr's disinformation presents to the American Public.

Excellent SciComm tips. To add one more:
Listen. Ask Questions. Disarm.
It's much easier to listen and help them reach an "aha" moment by asking strategic questions, encouraging critical thinking along the way.
Interaction rather than one-way conversations are crucial to changing minds.
