You cannot reason with those people. You can't. It's hopeless. A complete waste of everyone's time and effort. You can either cajole the apolitical middle to join us and outvote them and / or wait until the mother fuckers die off to a point they're no longer a problem. BUT YOU CAN'T REASON WITH THEM!!! SO STOP TRYING!!! IT ONLY MAKES YOU LOOK WEAK!!!

Covid. I'd hoped you'd wash the decks of these morons. You failed.
