It takes willfull ignorance by a stupid person to not know he is a rambling piece of shit at this point. These people are fucking stupid and we can shit on them all they want because it isn't like being nice would change their mind when they are so disconnected from reality.

Have you ever talked to people that were in a cult before or seen interviews? You'd be surprised how far things can go before they start to wake up to what's really going on, especially those that were indoctrinated from a young age. You're asking people to change their entire outlook on reality along with their beliefs and opinions and then call them stupid without getting it on the first try. No matter who's right or wrong, If someone was trying to do that to you would you not get immediately pissed off and try to avoid them as much as possible?

call them stupid without getting it on the first try

I think we're beyond the first try at this point. It's been 10 years.

Like I said,

it isn’t like being nice would change their mind

They need to be scolded and told they are doing the wrong things. That is the only way they could possibly learn, which they won't because if they weren't stupid they would have caught on to the fact that they are supporting awful stuff.

But at least I get to vent and maybe somebody ignorant about the details will catch on.

You're only nice to people to change their mind?

I'm nice to everyone unless I find out they are a piece of shit. Voting for Trump's second term and/or supporting him after everything he has done makes someone a piece of shit.

If they change their mind and start opposing Trump they stop being an active piece of shit and can work towards repairing the damage they did. As long as they aren't actively being a piece of shit I'm fine being nice.
