    Like most politicians are actively denying climate change and about half denied COVID existing, so what do you mean by "undeniable"?

    If you're a cynical actor there's nothing you can't deny. After that large swaths of the population will simply believe that denial as the truth and kill any momentum.

      By undeniable I mean things happening that obviously aren't remotely likely, such as extremely specific documents and recordings being leaked, followed by a confession by major perpetrators. Arrests. Attempts to go after 99 year old George Bush or whatever.

      At some level it would become actually be undeniable to anyone who doesn't deny the Sun exists and the Earth is round, which is currently a sufficient number of people to have a societal impact.

      Even George Floyd's death, which was one guy getting murdered, and a Black guy at that, still had a lot of conservatives on the back foot, like "well, that was obviously horrible but" and so on. Not all of them but a lot.
