Step 1: Have THEM define what they believe "Pizzagate" is first. Asking someone if he/she believes in "pizzagate" is like asking someone if he/she believes in "science;" it's too broad of a topic and can be (and has been) corrupted by both sides, unintentionally and also with ill-intended purpose.

Step 2: If they define "pizzagate" as the NYTIMES or SNOPES does -- that it's a conspiracy theory the Clintons ran a sex-slave operation out of the back of a DC-based pizza joint -- then you calmly and clearly educate them that is a misappropriated belief assigned to an easy to remember hashtag. ADMIT that you do not believe that is true either.

Step 3: Re-define "pizzagate" as an investigation, not a fact. At this step, it's up to YOU to know the facts, separate out the fallacies and explain what you believe is real as part of the larger, wider investigation. I have found that asking them simple starter questions with Yes or No answers is best.

• For example: Do you believe pedophilia is real? Do you believe that children are abducted and sold into slavery (work and sex)? Do you know how many children go missing every year? Do you believe that there are organized circles of people involved in human trafficking? Could and have law enforcement and government agencies helped in some way to allow these crime syndicates to continue? [Here is where you insert all the established reported facts of lawmakers, Congressmen and women and famous people charged with underage/solicitation of minors for sex and/or trafficking: Silsby, Hastert, Foley, Epstein, Weiner, Shortey and Sandusky to name a few...]

Once you have laid the ground work of your beliefs and clearly isolated the FACTS from the fiction -- that in just 2016, the FBI reported that there were 465,000 reports of missing children in the United States alone, and that 1 in 6 are believed victims of child sex trafficking -- and that you believe high-ranking and public officials (including national and international governments) have played a serious role in allowing it, funding it and/or both -- you can have an intellectual, un-biased conversation about the issue.

I know the trolls will be the first to comment, and judge, and twist this into something it is not...Ignore them. Anyone who denies the answers to the questions stated above is either uneducated, ill-informed or paid to do so.

Good luck.
