I’ve always tried to explain it just like that too, but it’s always like leading a horse to water, you can’t make it drink.

Also can’t make that horse understand that people who have opinions about niche subjects that have advanced degrees and study said subject for a living are worth listening to over reactionary angry idiots, but no. Folks would rather be addicted to rage than apply critical thinking.

I lost my dad to conservative media for this very reason. Started with that sack of shit Rush Limbaugh everyday on the radio and god knows what it is captivating his attention now. Can’t even have a normal conversation with him, he finds a way to always steer conversation to political rage.

How tf do we even come back from this?

We wait for them all to die off.

They don't just die off naturally. The propaganda machine is always making new idiots.
