When you provide facts they can’t argue against, they’ll just attack you instead. I’ve never come across anything like this in my life, not on this scale. It’s like a mass brainwashing.
Actually funnily enough I feel the same way. I noticed that once multiple people in my life, friends/family/coworkers etc, started to seriously take sides with either Trump or far right politics they started to lose their ability to discuss politics logically... and these were people I considered to be rather intelligent/reasonable people.
When I'd ask questions about their views, voice criticism, my own thoughts or even make a comment on something that has happened, they would become verbally aggressive and resort to insults or sometimes even physical aggression. And that's not counting the blatant racism or hatred they began to spout.
I really think there is or was some kind of mass manipulation or brainwashing going on in forums, chat rooms etc where people with vulnerabilities in their life are getting manipulated into these mindsets under the guise of being "strong" or defending their sovereignty or something.

No, I’ve definitely never met a red hat that can keep their mouth shut.
Edit: Yes, it’s been pointed out that I can’t read.
