Made the mistake of debating friends who are trump fans on facebook. They’re so far gone it’s like talking to cult members. It’s just impossible to them that trump isn’t the greatest president ever and Obama isn’t the worst president ever. Yes, they keep bringing Obama up. One right-wing talking point after another ad nauseam. No independent thoughts, skepticism, logic, or reason whatsoever. [/quote]
Yep, I’ve witnessed the same thing.
I must point out, though, the same thing happens to the left. I pointed out that they are constantly insinuating that “climate change” and “man-made global warming” are one and the same. They are not. They’ll point to a plethora of scientists who say man’s actions are warming the planet and again insinuate that 100% of the drought and temp change is caused by man.
When I point out reasons that’s not true, I get accused of being a climate change denier.
They won’t listen to reason. I found a study that proved my point and posted it – crickets. It did not match their agenda so they no longer wanted to participate. There was no “I guess you have a point” at all.
I am also completely baffled by their save-the-planet agenda that outlaws straws, plastic grocery bags, etc but not even a single mention of population control. In the long run, limiting the number of humans on the planet would have an effect so large that it would dwarf all of their other efforts put together. Yet not a word about it.[/quote]
Everyone loves the environment but people think you’re nuts if you ride a bike.
It’s better not to engage with most normal people.
Also, reading facebook postings can cause enormous despair.
So much pro trump….you are filled with a sense of disgust.
On the bright side, if you’re somewhat smarter than average, in the USA, and doing well financially, it may be because you’re not as dumb as most people.
If you really think trump is a great president, at this point, I hff ave to think you’re a little dumb.
This is reason to be grateful. The swamp of human stupidity is necessary in many professions for you to be better off than others.
