    I wrestled with this myself, but no longer. Some of them, a lot of them, are really that dumb. Yes, some were indocrinated and have environmental factors, but they may have inherited the brain cell count as well.

    At this point, what will wake them up? They’re fine with the racism and evilness, what will make them take a look at themselves to make them wonder if the person they worship is a conman?

      Economic ruin seems to help change minds.

      But the world-view/sunk cost fallacy is a hard thing to counter.

      Was reading the asmondgold reddit and felt a strong desire to make a reddit account to destroy every broken ass argument these people barf out. Its not worth it and would probably get banned making it all wasted effort. Fact remains these people use such lazy logic and can’t even be bothered to be consistent. It’s not like they’re beating the fascist drum but they are honestly indifferent to it.
