Any time I look at the comments it's ignorant whites from the rust belt calling her names.

I've gotten into arguments before with them but they're so easy to douse in flames that it's pointless. My go to comment at this point is just:

"I couldn't understand anything you wrote between all the ignorance and vitriol. But, all I got out of that is, "I am uneducated.""

That usually shuts them up.
