4. I've been on a tear lately, arguing with maga online.

Apparently, I've been speaking with some of the 40% who think Musk really cares about them. So sick of their stupid answers and their non-answers and their stupid cartoon memes. I lay it all out, backed up with facts and figures and the responses I get? "Your (sic) a moron". "You don't know what you're talking about". "Typical liberal." No intelligent response, no arguing facts and figures, no "here's where you're wrong", just accepting every bit of nonsense that has been pounded into their heads since 1996. Usually, I get tired of arguing and leave. They think they've won. I've shut down a bunch of people the last 2 days and have been really insulting. I really don't care at this point if I get kicked off the sites. We are being bombarded with bots praising Elon. I ask the posters (bots) "Does being a Russian bot pay much?" I responded to a "Karen", "Hey Karen, if that's REALLY your name...." "That's all you got? A stupid cartoon meme that doesn't even make sense?" "Have you ever been right about anything your whole life, Glenn?" I don't get really insulting until I point out some facts and get an idiotic response. "Demos are so confused and deranged." or "TDS much?" Then I let them have it. The TDS responses I say "Yes, you really do have TDS. If you really believe everything he says, you ARE deranged.The first step toward recovery is admitting you have a problem. Accept it." Most of them don't respond. If they do, I let them have it even harder. Felt good. I don't know how much good it does, but my father used to say "Better to light one small candle than to curse the darkness."
