How do you reason with or even talk to the stupid. I had an encounter

[doc03]

with a Trumplodyte this morning. Me and another guy (a Democrat) were talking about Trump. I said what is Trump going to do
if Monday morning Putin moves into Poland? This Trumplodyte chimes in that it is none of our business f--- Poland, they used to
belong to Russia anyway. He said we took over Iraq, Kuwait and Afghanistan we should have kept them and took their oil. These people
even have an excuse if Putin would retake all the USSR countries, it is none of our business. If he cuts SS and Medicare it won't hurt
us and our children wouldn't have gotten it any anyway. If you tell them any facts, the question is where did you hear that. You say CNN
that is the Clinton News Network and all the rest NBC, CBS and ABC are all liars and liberals. They trust only Fox or some crazy web site.

1. You can't.

I steer clear of them.

I have nothing in common with them.

They are my enemy.

They are the enemy of my country.

3. I am on the border of Ohio, WV and PA you have to deal with these idiots

or become a hermit.

4. I live in Ohio.

60 miles east of Cincinnati.

I have been avoiding my sister and brother in law.

I didn't go to Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, or Christmas day festivities.

I don't want to be around them.

I can't help it.

It is just the way I feel.

8. I did the same thing.

I've been avoiding my brother for months now, hard to do when we live just a couple of blocks apart. He's been totally brainwashed by Fox news and a don't even recognise the mean, suspicious, spiteful man he's become.

2. I Would Have To Him To Shut Up & Go Away Or Drop Dead.

5. I had a friend.....now an EX-friend...

who is as stupid as they come..and she is a woman. First during the election primaries she wanted someone to shoot Hillary. Then she called President Obama a black bastard and said he did nothing while in office but collect a paycheck......she is an uneducated women and boy does it show the minute she opens her mouth. You cannot reason with idiots....they are very short of little gray cells.

6. Can't fix that.

Never gonna get EVERY vote.

7. I concluded after trying to talk to a Fox fan several times that they live in a parallel universe

that never intersects with the universe we live in; one that is severely fact-challenged. I am old enough to remember when we only had 3 TV networks, and while there were other non-print media, we all pretty much saw the same stuff at least on TV. Not that there wasn't still corporate influence, political influence, etc. but we didn't live in completely different universes that could never bridge with each other. I believe this is a huge part of the intense polarization we have today.
