Why do facts alone often fail to change minds, especially in the realm of politics? In this video, we delve into the power of personal stories over cold statistics in swaying public opinion. We explore how, despite countless fact-checks exposing falsehoods in Trump's rhetoric—on topics like abortion and immigration—his support remains strong. By examining historical lessons from the past and sharing real-life stories of individuals impacted by these policies, we uncover the missing piece in changing minds: the profound impact of human narratives over mere facts.
