How do you respond to idiots or the uninformed?
Advertisements [?]
I have been doing alot of lurking rather than posting here because this last stolen election has me terribly depressed about my country.
But I have not been silent outside of cyberspace.

I am sick of being called a "radical, left wing fanatic." !!!!!!!!!!

I get it all the time because I believe the election was stolen.
Rather...I KNOW IT WAS.

Some people are nice when the subject comes up. A handful actually believe there "is something to it."
But most, including some loved ones, think I am out on the "far fringes of reality" and I am "a blinded partison" because I believe the election was fixed.

Sometimes I feel like that guy trying to wake everybody up at the end of the movie Invasion of the Body Snatchers! But I will not be quiet.

I guess I'm just looking for some help here. Does anyone have this problem? Does anyone have a short rebuttal for these people who refuse to see the truth?

My explanations turn into sermons and long detailed lists of what happened on November 2nd. After a while you can almost see some peoples eyes glazing over.

Thanks DU. Even if no one replies to this I feel a little better just venting.
