I have been totally taken aback by people. They are feeling so very free to spout nonsense. Vitriolic, hateful bullshit about every spin, lie, dung, fed into their ears. They take it as the absolute truth as fed to them by the "news", and sometimes from their place of worship.

The only thing I can do to piss them off, is this:

Give them a Stepford smile, and say, "Well, I am so sorry to see that you are thinking in this way. Well, I am so sorry you feel this way. Well, I am so sorry to see that this is upsetting to you. Well, I am so sorry; you seem to be angry. Perhaps this is a subject you should not discuss in a place where you may be challenged. The situation seems to be making you sad and mad. Gosh, that's a shame that you feel uncomfortable, now. Perhaps you should not bring up these things which seem to cause you such distress. It might be bad for your mental health. This must be a difficult time for you now".

Smiling all the while.

Then run.
