uneducated but indoctrinated. You can reason and educate someone with an open mind or at least who isn't clinging to what they've been told because it is what they need to believe.

I don't think you can do that with someone who is essentially brainwashed and living with hate in their mind that dictates the way the world works and how they think.

I'm truly sorry you had such a horrible person lash out at you for disagreeing with the lies they've been told.
