      No, this is big. Someone committed to the cause looked at the evidence and reconsidered her opinion.

      This can be useful to get through to some that they have been manipulated, that they have been made terrified of education for unfounded reasons.

      Anyone converted away is a win, even if not statisically significant.

        She reaped what she sowed.

        Other conservatives won’t learn until they personally receive death threats.

        This is funny, but not some kind of turning point.

          Considering that this entire story is about a conservative that learned without the need for receiving death threats pretty much disproves your entire point.

          Though I know how edgy one is for suggesting that some deserve to have their life threatened for doing things they disagree with.

          Do better.

          Conservatives generally don’t do empathy, unless something affects them personally. Otherwise they don’t care.
