That problem is the same I’ve faced talking to people. They distrust science and anything that disagrees with what they have been told by trusted people in their tribes (often church). That’s what makes this message effective.
You know 45% of Christians vote for Democrats, right? I think that was last election, I haven’t checked the recent one, but it’s a large fraction.

Why would it be weird that some people from any group have a stupid idea? The average human is pretty stupid.
… And the other 55%? The majority?
And you’re taking a national ratio which is meaningless with a system like the electoral college.
Look! We found one!
