Being it's the end of the month I had to get my car inspected today. I have gone to the same place for years but never saw this person/worker there before. I sat in the office and this worder started talking about McConnell and how he and other octogenarians shouldn't be in office, I agreed. Other comments he made made me think he was going down a based path, UNTIL I brought up AOC and how she won an audition for the job. THEN he starts talking about how much he likes her and how smart she is (I almost threw up in my mouth) and how he thinks MTG is an idiot (I wondered if the blood from biting my lip was running down my face). He said MTG is QAnon, to which I said, "There is no such thing as QAnon..." and he said, "Oh, I know all about it."
The saddest part was when I brought up transgenders in the military and HE IS ALL FOR IT!
Not to mention, he was making comments about slavery as if HE was a slave, getting whipped and forced to work out in the fields. So, I just smiled and bit my lip a little more, until the owner of the station came in and said my car was ready.
You can't argue with stupid.
I've tried to do the same so many times. I learned that trying to reason with someone who looks normal but has mis-firing brain cells is an exercise in madness.
There's only so much we can do at this point. We must reserve our energy for those who still have an open mind and working synapses.
Never wrestle with a pig. You both get dirty and the pig likes it.
Yep. And usually bring insane ire directed at you for merely having an opinion different from theirs (and having evidence)
"Reasoning" is rarely persuasive; especially when dealing with psyop mind poisoned people.
Successful persuasion starts with the Heart, not the mind.
