Been saying this for a while.
We have to work harder to communicate with some of these people. There's definitely a lot of right wingers that are straight up gone(genuine fascists/neo nazis who know what they're doing), but there's a lot that are simply brainwashed or fear mongered. Instead of laughing at them we should be trying to bring them back to the right path.
But how do you do that? We can try to convince and provide all the evidence in the world and we still get met with "deep state" and get told almost every scientist and doctor is part of a secret pact to make us eat bugs.
To say nothing of how difficult it is to talk to people who would rather you didn't exist.
