Recently I’ve had some frustrating conversations with people. Someone said Oregon is “deeply red”, which sounds like an absolutely unhinged thing to say when you consider all branches of government in OR are controlled by Dems.
I’m sure I was rude to the person, but I tried to explain how ridiculous that is. If Oregon is deeply red then what is Alabama? Just because the rural areas are conservative? I spent way too long on this one.
Anyway how do you handle this kind of nonsense in the world? I usually just say what I’m thinking to people these days, but more and more it’s feeling like I should just stfu and let people believe whatever
With people that dumb I don’t bother. They tend to be more than just ignorant they are willfully ignorant.
I do bother to try to push people farther to the left that are engaged and trying to learn.
I mostly just rage bait dumbasses to highlight how dumb they are for other people.
