Honestly, it& #39;s super tempting and natural to want to point out the hypocrisy of right wing bootlicker types. I get why we want to keep doing it, why the impulse is there.

But ultimately they won& #39;t budge no matter what we say, and it& #39;s demoralizing on our end. It& #39;s not worth it.

It& #39;s a trap. These people are grown ass adults with more privilege than sense. Reason rolls off of then like water off a duck& #39;s back, and they& #39;re gonna say and do what they& #39;re going to say and do, in large part because demoralizing us is part of the "plan."

I am not suggesting that we ignore the actual harm that they do. I just think that we should maybe go about mitigating it, to the best of our abilities, without engaging directly. If they ever come atound, it won& #39;t be because somebody "debated" them really well.

Those who come around from that set usually only do so after a great deal of personal suffering teaches them the error of their ways through bitter experience OR after it is no longer fun or convenient for them to act like two year olds ... for now.

Our words do nothing.

Sadly, we are probably best served treating them like someone else& #39;s petulant children trampling on everyone& #39;s flower beds. Ignore the tantrum (they are not YOUR kids), clean up after them, and put up fences for the next time their petulant daddy lets them off the chain.
