Reminds me of a relative. He often hits me with a "And why doesn't Biden do more for Ukraine? Like use the money he has available as president?". He never manages to understand that 1. he did end up sending a part of that money (intended for emergencies) and 2. his preferred option (Trump/MAGA) was the one fucking blocking the aid for half a year! (the before mentioned emergency)

As someone with a close friend that's getting brainwashed by Republican propaganda( he got into blue collar work, thinks Dump is pro blue collar), there's just no winning, no amount of logical reasoning matters. Arguing against their "truth" is arguing against their community and support system. It's neigh impossible to convince them when they just google "FOX NEWS/NEWSMAX TELL ME IM RIGHT" and counter your reputable sources with bs.
