Really wasting your time VT. You can prove these guys wrong with their OWN words and they will dispute you! You can literally put the evidence right in front of their nose and have them READ it and they will ignore it. They aren’t just ignorant, they have no desire to change the ignorance In their warped mind they believe the way they view the world and they NEVER want to change from that view. It doesn’t matter what evidence to the contrary you have they will ignore it. It doesn’t matter what they once said, they can get over that.
You’re talking about minds so closed that I’m surprised any oxygen can get in. All they know is they passionately believe something and want to talk about it. But they don’t want to listen to what anyone else says. They are really just looking for someone to agree with what they already believe to be 100% true. The facts don’t matter in their world.
And if someone says something contrary to what they said they will attack the person saying it. You bring evidence that what they said is false and they will bring more attacks. You use their own words to show how hypocritical they are and they will bring more attacks. I’ve seen these types of people in many a political forum. They are on a message board for designed for discussion, but make no mistake about it discussion is not what they are after. They also tend to almost always come off as very angry. As if they are deeply unsatisfied with their personal lives.
