I'll sometimes still engage that kind of idiot. It's not about convincing them they are wrong, but having the contradictory evidence directly alongside their crazy claims. Someone else that's been living under a rock for the past... decade (fucking hell) might not be sucked in by the crazy.
Bingo. They’re filling the lake with shit and piss, you pump in more chlorine.
Remember, the vast majority of Americans have NO POLITICAL PREFERENCE. There is a nearly infinite market of people to be convinced for one side or the other.
You don't even have to have been living under a rock, people are born all the time and people develop at different rates which means there are constantly people at different stages of mental growth and constantly people learning things for the first time. Everybody had to learn the things that they know but a lot of people seem to forget that just because they have learned something, it doesn't mean everyone else has.
