If arguing with logic and facts actually worked, everyone would be in an existential crisis all the time. "Oh my god! You're right. What have I been DOING with my life? 😱"

But it does work! It's just hard for people to accept that they've been wrong, eventually, when dust settles down and it won't look like you have MADE them change their opinion, they might assess you arguments and come around. Appealing to emotions on the other hand never works with people who don't agree with you in the first place — it becomes a heated debate that ends in each party considering the other one a total douchebag 🤷
