    I like to bring out the point about them lifting 800 million people out of poverty. No guarantee the person will listen, but it’s a weighty statement. I also like to bring out the one about the US having the highest incarceration rate in the world, for similar reasons. You could try to work on things detail by detail and that’s probably more lasting and influential in the long term, but some of the most surface level facts are “big” on their one. It can be shocking sometimes comparing the differences and sometimes a little jarring rhetoric might be what’s needed to get somebody to stop in their tracks. Some people are deep in the details of lies and some are more gonna be going off vibes of what they heard in passing.
