    That’s an excellent way to confront that issue! Americans might not be able to interact with empathy or sympathy but we cannot stand feeling dumb😂

      I love my dad but I don’t engage with him seriously about politics anymore. Specific facts don’t matter, he only cares about “the big picture”…so instead of of arguing, I give him the even bigger picture: none of this shit matters. It’s all a distraction while they rob us blind.

      Watch out, some just double-down when they feel dumb.

      There’s a reason that movement is so anti-intellectual and don’t care for facts.
