These people don’t have power over others like Trump.
These are the people voting Trump in, dude, you cant actually be this dense
You aren’t responsible for other’s beliefs
No, but I do try to make the world a less stupid place when I can
You are loosely reveling in their suffering, whether you realize it or not.
If they’re too stupid to learn basic science then I reeeeally don’t care
They are very concerned and are likely vulnerable individuals.
Ok? They’re also very stupid individuals, I don’t care at all what makes them believe the blatantly stupid thing, only that they refuse to accept reality
Seriously, why single them out for going a little crazy?
Because it’s a very obvious and easy one to point out. There are posts about other delusions all the time, this one just happened to be about these specific people
If you are worried about people holding factually incorrect or wrong beliefs, e.g. delusions, then advocate for decentralized media, unbiased news organizations, etc.
I also do this. Weird of you to assume that someone on Lemmy doesn’t just because they also don’t respect people who refuse to think
You’re doing an awful lot of defending of people who are choosing to behave the way they do, it’s weird. Gonna file you in with them and call it a day, you don’t seem to be too far from them in the ol’ comprehension skill

Of course these individuals share responsibility for potentially voting for him, but we ALL share responsibility for him rising to power.

We don’t need to call out stupidity to make it a better place. Expressing yourself with clarity and confidence of thought is infinitely better.

You don’t need to care about any of this.

If somebody you love is frightened (in a general sense), what would you do? Calming them down and helping to see the truth would be one potential path to ease their suffering. What would making fun of them do?

Do what you want, I’m not going to apologize for my behavior or take it personally. If my crime is being too empathetic, guess I’m guilty.
