    It probably needs a movie where red cap wearing idiots are made angry and Farquaated repeatedly in increasingly ludicrous ways before any sinks in.

      Yes, because we haven’t been calling them fools for years, maybe we should try it! Maybe it’ll work and not just drive them further and further away from sanity out of spite!

          Some people have been trying, sure. But most just choose to try and prove their superiority by being as obnoxious as possible.

          And no, saying what you believe to be right in a condescending matter is not “trying to explain facts”.

            You lay out the bare facts. Proof is demanded. You lay out proof: studies, papers, data. The response is that the data is made up and that these so-called scientist and experts are not to be trusted. That’s followed up that it’s all the fault of Kamela anyway because she slept her way to the top or something similar. Oh yes, great conversations.

        This guy gets it.

        Demonizing the south as inbred yokels who can’t read doesn’t get them to listen to you, it just reinforces their xenophobic ideas about how the Liberal Elite are mocking them.

          I guess I should just be nice to people who want me dead.

            Yesn’t

            You gotta take a “Do no harm, but take no shit.” attitude and walk a fine line: Speak softly, carry a big stick.

                I used to, but I found making the world my enemy and acting accordingly only leaves people acting with ignorance rather than malice thinking they were right about people like me.

                Keep in mind, I speak of kindness only to people who don’t know better, not people who definitely do and are just basically fucking Nazis

        I agree that the mocking approach doesn’t work in terms of enacting change. I’m still in favor of it for our own sakes just because it’s fun.

        Americans love nothing more than to wallow in their own filth while pointing and laughing at their neighbors.

        I am smart. You are dumb. That’s why we’re in this mess together.
