It helps to know that normies (and humans in general) are 90% irrational and 10% rational overall. No amount of facts will ever convince a normie (or anybody) as long as they are significantly emotionally invested in a certain viewpoint and paradigm.
Normies are thus not MORE irrational that anyone else. It's just that their emotional investment is stuck in a different paradigm (we might call it the "old" dying mainstream fake-news-matrix paradigm).
Those who have experienced being redpilled, and having their old paradigm collapse and the new one emerge, understand that "hey, it's possible to see a completely different reality than what I was used to see just by removing old belief systems". Normies never had that experience, yet...
Knowing the above by experience makes you a lot more humble and less emotionally invested in any viewpoints (even if it is "the truth"), which again makes your view much more accurate and flexible (which is what good investigators need, right).
So, back to the poor normies who just don't seem to get it. What is going on now is that Trump and the whole movement is softening the normies hardcoded investment in their old paradigm. Getting as many fence-sitters as possible to take the redpill. The die hard normies will just have to brace for impact as the truth will shock them to the core when the shit hits the fan. Some of them might literally go totally cuckoos nest insane.
I think we need more discussion on how to handle all the shell-shocked normies once SHTF. Cause I believe that is a big part of what Q is preparing everyone for. I planned to make this a OP, but need more upvotes before I can post. Please help :)
It's basic human nature, especially after a few decades of a Mockingbird Media. "It's much easier to fool someone than to convince them that they've been fooled." (Mark Twain*). This will be an uphill battle and family and friends will have to be red-pilled slowly. Accordingly, getting them to understand the extent and depth of a major median manipulation is the critical threshold task before us. A total "unplugging" of MSM for news has to happen before you can expect them to digest the terrible Big Truths ahead.

Why redpilling "normies" is so hard
