I don't want to complain too much since in all honesty this isn't even remotely a serious enough topic. As I've gotten more and more educated in ML and adjascent knowledge, I've tried explaining to people my views, why they make sense and how they apply to the urrent world we live in. I push back when people claim outrageous things and I get mocked in return and called a fool. Not being taken serious is harder than I thought and I knew this would happen kind of, but never expected for people, family, friends to actively not take any of this seriously. Should I just accept that ML views are so radical that people don't even want to hear them? Or should I push forward?

EDIT: Thank you everyone for your comments, it's gotten clear to me that I was too aggressive and wasn't using the right approach when talking about certain things, I auto assumed the other person would receive what I'm talking about with open arms which was the wrong course of action. Will adjust my framing and discussion to meet the person halfway next time.

Because as much as everybody on hexbear likes to shit on Bernie and pretend he's literally as bad as the rest of the democrats there was a very real effort to have anybody but Bernie win the primary, and Biden just happened to luck out into being the one the rest of the shitlibs coalesced behind

it always seemed like The Democrats wanted Kamala Harris or Buttigieg, though, and especially making her VP despite her being the First Place Loser of the Primary (not even winning her own state) made it seem like that was The Plan, have Biden win the election and then mumble some stuff about health issues before handing it off to The Anointed One

I didn't expect Biden (or his handlers, depending on how dementia addled he actually was) to give a shit about him personally being President
