As regular readers know, I've had my encounters with the far right on shooting message boards. These were mostly cult members, who refused to believe anything negative about the Orange Traitor. As an example, I noted Cheeto Face's raging sociopathic narcissism, to which I was challenged, of course. I posted links to articles from a wide range of sources (to prevent being accused of believing "commie garbage") and none of those cult members believed any of it. Not shocking, I know. The thing is there were a finite number of right wing looneys who did most of the screaming.
Fast forward to today, with me more active on Twitter, and discovering more cultists. There seems to be an unending supply of them on the site and they know absolutely nothing about reality. Recently, I interacted with someone who was part of the "investigate Biden" crowd. I'd commented about how odd I found it that not one Republican Congressperson took the least bit of interest in Jarod's $2 billion payment from the Saudis. There were two folks who chimed in, calling my comment a lie. Long story short, they were completely unaware of that payment until I posted proof.
My favorite of the week, so far, is the guy who refused to believe Trump had been in legal trouble before, so I posted an official link to the outcome and settlement. His response? "That's your opinion."
I just remembered my true favorite for the week. There was outrage amongst the looneys that the Orange Traitor was forced to turn over his tax returns, with numerous comments to the effect that "if our lord and savior had to turn his over, where's Biden's or Obama's? They should be forced as well." After I explained that Trump had to turn his over as part of an investigation, I posted links to the tax returns they demanded and informed them the only Presidential candidate, in over 50 years, who hasn't voluntarily provided their tax returns was Cheeto Face.
These people have literally zero understanding of the world around them. Fortunately, I've reached that point of zen where I won't waste time spoon feeding anymore...they just get blocked.
