Expecting facts and reason to persuade a MAGA Republican is akin to expecting a rabid dog

The stupidity and ignorance of MAGA-world is not worth my time.

On the one hand, it's sad because I've enjoyed some good times with these folks. On the other, I no longer have any respect for them.

Trump's followers have shown us who they are and it's pretty ugly.
