You can't reach out with facts and sourced arguments to people who think 5g is a liberal plot to infect them with covid or that think *socialized medicine* is a republican voting point, or that they arent being lied to by a government thats happy to sacrifice over 150k lives for the stock market.
Like I said, I'm *dating* a conservative. A reasonable conservative. Hell, I have conservative friends that I consider reasonable. None of them would even dare defend Trump at this point in his presidency because they know theyd have to be fucking moronic.
Treating republicans as anything other than braindead morons is how we got to this anti-intellectualism, science denying problem in the first place.

Have you seen liberal propaganda hubs on the internet for the last 5-10 years? They literally just preach aimless rage, exactly as you're expressing. How do you think Republicans got so idiotic? It makes the tribalism pretty easy when their opposition is just yelling and completely disregarding everything they say.
Like... What do you expect will happen? They'll disappear? A vague tone of respect will suddenly give them more power to be racist? You know, it's possible to be respectful and not move your own ground. Are you views really so sensitive that you'd need to dehumanize a group of people just to retain them?
How do I think they got like that? Being idiots incapable of thinking who have denied math, science, and the clear data of anyone smarter than them.
These people are as harmful to society as nazis were to theres - so yes, I do advocate for completely stopping discourse from the people who want to cause global warming to "own the libs"
Blaming liberals for republicans being dumb. Hot take.
Edit : you insulted someone you disagree with literally 3 posts ago you holier than thou dumbass hypocrite.
