Because there's absolutely no way that you can speak "with" them. They don't engage in conversation because that would require logical progressions and application of fact. Their thoughts are as scattered as a typical Trump speech and their beliefs are vapid and unsupportable. They cut us off because they only know emotional impulses rather than political discourse. They politicize apolitical ideas and refuse to believe anything that their chosen media fail to report, which largely means they only know half of any story in the news.

I live amongst these cretins and have given up. As long as right wing radio and FOX news flourish, we aren't battling other Americans over politics, we're battling propaganda and widespread ignorance.
