Is there any way to reach and deprogram a maghat?

The classic Bonhoeffer Theory of Stupidity:

or is it just Hopeless?

[LuvLoogie]

1. Don't waste your time or energy.

Seriously. Just find others who feel like you do and let them know they're not alone.

Your example of justice and kindness in word and action is the best you can do to make the world better.

Let MAGA rot and fester in their choices.

2. No,

If you try reasonable debate they will just drag you down into the mud where they are experts.

I live among the Magats and my strategy is to give them short zingers that they won't be able to refute. (Easily)

3. Not until their own daughter had an ectopic pregnancy

Or their son marries another man.

Or their insurance doesn’t cover their Viagra

Or…. You get the idea.

4. If a person does not believe in facts or proof, there is no basis for discussion.

You may try to converse with them, but as soon as they say "Because God says so" or "everyone knows that's a lie" or "it's just common sense", then the debate is over.

5. Carlo Cipolla...

In 1976, a professor of economic history at the University of California, Berkeley published an essay outlining the fundamental laws of a force he perceived as humanity’s greatest existential threat: Stupidity.

His first of five universal laws of stupidity was: Law 1: Always and inevitably everyone underestimates the number of stupid individuals in circulation.
