It’s as pointless as trying to win an argument with a MAGA cultist. A waste of time and energy, I say!

I got it to call him a narcissistic Dunning-Kruger manbaby having a midlife crisis because all his kids hate him. I don't regret those 10 minutes.

I called my Dem senators to try to alert them to 2 young Afghan women I know. They are here on humanitarian visas. Their father worked for the US in Kabul. I don't know if it'll protect them. I specifically DIDN'T call my fascist Rep bc he'd immediately send his Gestapo to send them back to hell.

I've heard some therapists have been enjoying some success using LLMs to help deprogram brainwashed people. Using one to help MAGAts discover their sanity is definately a Boromir-class idea.

Grok doesn’t base all of its opinions on its feelings like a MAGAt does, so it’s maybe marginally less useless.

#Trumpism is a dangerous cult being enabled by "faithful, loyal followers" who willingly gave up all their morals, values, standards, common sense, self-respect, & critical thinking skills just to follow, serve, support, worship, & defend their #PedoPresident #Felon47 No Matter What!

It doesn't even take a cultist. I have a cousin who is reasonable but somehow thinks RFK Jr is an awesome human being. I have been trying unsuccessfully to change his mind for many months to no effect. Not even the whale story or the swimming in shit creek with his grand kids swayed him 😵‍💫

John Oliver’s show yesterday dealt with this. Although he missed how pissed off conservatives were by Michelle Obama trying to get real food into schools, and how the DNC and progressives canceled RFK Jr. even if he is right about food dyes and HFCS.

Usually it's the MAGA whose arguing with Grok because they don't get that it's a machine. Maybe try banging on it with a hammer. That always works.
