Call them out? What's the point?
You can't use logic to get somebody out of a position that they didn't use logic to get themselves into.
Irredeemable dunces, the lot of them.
Calling them out makes them think twice about whether or not it's worth putting their reactionary thoughts out into the world, It also makes it less likely for uninformed others to silently agree with unchallenged racist nonsense.
It's not about their education, it's about refusing to give them ground to be shitty. It's about being serious as an advocate.
But what about my second question? Why are conservatives like Liz Cheney or Mitt Romney getting treated like heroic politicians by blue voters?
There is a level of respect that liberals have for conservatives in the US.
