The thing is you could bring the most convincing evidence in the world to them and all that will do is make them believe what they do even more strongly; that's a well documented psychological phenomenon.

Yeah, I can't remember the term for this, but you see it all the time with people who believe conspiracy theories. No matter how much compelling evidence you provide to show that the moon landing wasn't faked or 9/11 wasn't an inside job, they just take your evidence as further proof of a cover-up and a demonstration that
the conspiracy goes even higher.
Additionally, in their eyes, you're just a blind sheep who doesn't see the truth.
I also find it interesting that people who believe one conspiracy theory tend to believe them all. It's like the part of their brain that exists to critically process information wasn't wired correctly.
