And yet millions still do. People believe what the WANT to believe, and that frequently is something other than facts.

People believe stories. It's ridiculous to suggest otherwise.
As competing narratives become more compelling, people switch the stories they believe.
So if you want people to start believing in the set of facts you hold to be true, tell them a compelling story about those facts, don't just tell at them for not fact checking.
