The left has a bit of a problem here - and when I say 'the left' I just mean everyone who isn't explicitly invested in the right -> alt-right.
The right are very effective at creating stories which resonate emotionally with certain demographics. These stories validate people's feelings (sometimes rightly, sometimes not) that things are basically chaotic, out-of-control, rigged, unjust etc, and then these stories invariably cast around for some person, object or idea to blame - a judge, the government, cancel-culture etc. "You have every right to be unhappy about X, and this is why."
Responding to those narratives with plain facts doesn't really touch those who already feel outraged or have some vague, but nonetheless real sense of frustration or injustice. In fact, presenting solid information which challenges these narratives often causes disquiet in those who already know what "I believe...", which in turn feeds into their feelings of frustration, grievance, outrage (and sometimes even violent outrage) which they've associated with judges, the government, or cancel-culture etc.
It doesn't matter that Hasbro weren't forced by the pink-haired-lesbian-feminazi-woke-cancel-culture lobby to drop the 'Mr' from the Mr Potato Head brand, or that Joe Biden didn't demand that Dr Seuss books were banned, or that the amount of election fraud is vanishingly small or that courts didn't refuse to accept evidence thereof, or that levels of violent crime are falling, that Obama is actually a US citizen, that universities aren't a hotbed of Marxist radicalisation, that millennials aren't self-centred whiny snowflakes, that extending equal rights to LGBTQ+ people doesn't limit or take away rights from others, that certain areas aren't no-go Sharia law enclaves, that you can say you're a patriot without being arrested, or whatever. What matters is that people feel that these things are true and that there's enough support within one's community or society to validate those feelings.
This is not to say that the left are immune to these kinds of narratives either. We're all susceptible to advertising and propaganda. If we weren't we wouldn't be subjected to so much of it! We've all seen those adverts where someone in a clean lab wearing a white coat tells us there's something dangerous going on in our mouth which we're not aware of, and how this-or-that particular brand of toothpaste can mitigate that danger and assuage those inculcated fears. What we have to look out for is when politics is operated on the same principle - inculcating disquiet or fear about X which the politician or party then claims not only to have a unique insight into but also the monopoly on what to do about it.
In short, the right are very good at getting people's attention and holding on to it, and countering that with facts isn't necessarily a good response, doesn't distract people from 'their truth', and isn't really working.
