ignore right-wingers. They spew out made up bullshit and fly into a rage any time their "facts" are challenged. If you challenge them enough times, they develop a hate complex toward you. I say fuck them, life is too short and too challenging for me to give a shit about what they think, or even how they feel because they have no feelings for anyone else. It is easier and more beneficial to society to fight them.
