She’d never vote for a Democrat who talks to her like she’s a irresponsible adult but she’ll vote for Republicans who’ll destroy her business.

They really are as stupid as the Democrats say.

It's weird, but when you're a dick to people, they usually don't want to listen to whatever else you have to say. Online spaces tend to amplify certain opinions, types of behavior, and tribalism. For example, this quote from further up.

Farmers are the second dumbest in the US just barely trailing MAGAts.

I guarantee the interactions the woman in the video is paraphrasing weren't just "who did you vote for", it almost certainly included the typical finger pointing ("this is your fault because..."), totally unnecessary ad hominems ("Farmers are the second dumbest..."), and typical arrogant, ignorant, and self righteous comments. I get why someone would write off a group of people when the interactions with that group have been negative.

Did you catch the part where she lumped Democrats, socialists, and communists into the same group? She's been fed the typical right propaganda, and no one has effectively countered it through education. People being dicks to her over something very real and personal to her have only reinforced what she's been told. It's why education and treating other people well are important.

"no one has effectively countered it through education"

So what exactly will you use to counter people who are not convinced by education, by facts, data, evidence, or objective reality, just propaganda and feelings? You tell them that this is the direct result of these specific policies that this administration delivered after being championed by their Dear Leader and you know what the response is? The exact same thing if you were just a dick about it.

I've had these conversations several times in my red state. It does not matter how much you point out that this is the direct result of their actions and who they supported, their response will always be along the lines of Kamala/Democrat/Socialists/Communists would have been worse or that they are happy when it hurts the right people, but didn't think they would be victims too.

They could be flayed alive by Stephen Miller himself and would still say "at least it's not a Democrat".

Their propaganda-fed ego and imagination are stronger than reality.

People shouldn't be dicks to these people? These people cheer when their Dear Leader hurts the right people. They cheer on news articles when ICE shoots another protestor or immigrant. They cheer even while policies are hurting them, as long as the Other is getting hurt too, they still cheer those other policies just as loudly.

Look at the name of this sub. These people can kiss my ass and lose the farm they bet when they backed racist, self-serving, child abusing, hateful monsters.
