That's how something fraudulent like trickle-down economics can become common sense, even after being decisively debunked.

There are other examples of skewed discourse, including climate change and ethno-nationalism, which is used to keep the GOP in power.

Again, unrelated. This is about how to defeat an idea. Any idea.

The reason is that power can be employed in different ways, and when power blocks one avenue you need others.

What other avenues are there to defeat ideas other than through education?

Ideas don't exist by themselves. Ideas live in people who have goals, needs, social lives. Shame can work, but lots of things do.

Shame works, but I think it has to be inside them, not from outside. Shame forced upon people causes them to despise the shamer.

Yes, it is social. So you already see that it is not just about ideas vs ideas.
