I guarantee you that most of them didn't care about anybody else but themselves and blamed everybody else when things went wrong. A twofer! So when people tell me to reach out and try and deal with these people, forget it. I'm not interested in listening to their whining, bigotry, hatred, etc. I've had enough of it to last me a lifetime.

Too culted out. Hate is fun!

They can't be reached. And IF we are successful - they need to be left behind. Any kindness will be met with those Neanderthals (with no intentional disrespect to Neanderthals) spitting in our face. These nothing nobody quitters at the game of life have had their last participation trophy (45).

If we don't do such, our chances of winning are diminished.

You got 2 main factions. The dumber than dirt rednecks and the religious fanatics.

The rednecks aren't interested because they spend their time drinking and fighting.

The religious fanatics actually take great pride in proving their faith by believing in stupid shit.

Don't waste your breath or your time.

more tolerable for me in the sticks. And ya never know when a seed is planted you just never know.

But yes I agree...I would not go OUT OF MY WAY to try to convert these people. These people exist in cities and suburbs as well - but if they want to say some shit in front of me then I come right back at them with a zing and a smile.

.I am always polite and kind to them. But I don't engage.
It is a total waste of time and energy. Most of them are uneducated. They barely made it through high school. They just parrot what they have heard from their equally uneducated family members or from their Bible Believing churches.

They probably have no idea what impeachment even means. They have no idea what the role of government is beyond getting their government handouts. They never read anything. And they have no curiosity about anything beyond their tattoos and four wheelers.

I don't want the aggravation.
