Okay, let’s just stick to the point you’re making. You changed because people educated you and social media also helped. I have told you, that’s not the common experience. Then I offered my experience, but also offered actual research, and even linked it for you.

Now regarding my grammar, I will allow it could be either. I was sure I used the right one, but since you feel that I have not, unlike you, I’m open to being wrong. I looked it up, I am not wrong. As I named the influencing factor before the influence “effect” is just fine, I took no action. So The consequence, or EFFECT, if Dobbs is their emotional state, but I affect (work on, influence) change in elections by voting. I do like big words, I didn’t really think I was using any, but I suppose that’s up to you to decide if you feel like they’re big.
