I'm afraid this young woman is a perfect illustration of what we're up against

I've spent the greater part of this evening arguing with a Trump cultist on Twitter, and I might as well have been beating my head against the wall for all the good it did. She thinks Trump is a genius, greater than Washington or Lincoln, a truth-teller (albeit "not a priest&quot , and all media are lying to me. She seems a sweet young woman but a prime candidate for Jonestown.

I brought up unpaid contractors, assaulted women, a two-minute youtube video compilation of Trump clips saying he knows more than anyone about--well, everything. I brought up toilet paper on the shoe and saluting a North Korean spymaster. Nothing fazed her. She ended each of her tweets with an icon of hands praying.

Here is her end of the conversation:

Best President ever, love our President, many, many Americans know this and love him as well. You seem very much in the dark. You’ll see the light soon, I have faith enough for both of us!

(I told her to wise up.)

I am wise to our President, he is a genius. You’re in a dark place, not your fault, your news n party are lying to you! I will pray you come to see the light soon!

(Sent USA Today link about hundred of workers claiming Trump stiffed them.)

Seriously USA Today, liberal rag, I do not believe any liberal rags or Chanel’s all lies. Again I’ll keep you in my prayers, it’s not your fault your party has lied n had you believe their falsehoods. You will see soon.

(Really? Greatest President? Greater than Washington? Lincoln?)
(So hundreds of contractors are lying? Two dozen women are lying?)

Or equal to! So yes he’s up there w the greats! I didn’t vote for a priest I voted for a man that would tell the truth, he’s not perfect, but whether you believe me or not, he is the one saving us. Again you will soon see.

(Please get help. Genius? Toilet paper on the shoe? Saluting the enemy?)

Yes he is a genius. He’s not the bad guy, again you will find out soon. Who the deceivers n killers really are.

I will pray for you. You will see soon.


So that was the exchange. What can one do, in the face of such momumental denial? Nothing Mueller finds is going to make a difference with someone like her. Putin could FedEx her the pee tape and it wouldn't make a difference. Sigh.
