Conservative Naval professor explains the futility of trying to reach Trump voters: ‘Some of them are just bad people’

The women, who were immigrants from India and a post-Soviet region, asked to debate Nichols afterward, and asked if he had called them “willfully evil” — and he said they sputtered after he corrected them and said they were “willfully ignorant.”

“Both did the standard Trump thing: talking at me in a fusillade of words punctuated with questions that they would not let me answer,” Nichols said. “This is a compulsion with Trumpers: they must – *must* – constantly explain to you why they *had* to vote for Trump.”

The women listed “phantom Trump successes” and insisted Trump was taking jobs away from foreign workers and giving them back to Americans, and Nichols tried to correct them.

“Look, what you believe to be true is false,” he told them. “The things you think are facts are not facts. We can’t go further here.”

The women rapidly insisted their beliefs were true, and they demanded Nichols accept their views as valid.

1. "The things you think are facts are not facts."

I think I'll have some sticky notes printed up with that sentence in boldface and when a Deplorable tries to engage me in a political conversation, I'll peel one off and stick it to their forehead.

Sticky notes, because it's too awkward to carry a stapler.

2. "Fox News Lies to you"

To get votes for billionaire tax cuts.


I also find “do you know who Rupert Murdoch is” to be a very useful question. If they can’t give you Murdoch’s bio, you say “if you watch Fox and you don’t know who Rupert Murdoch is, you are a big fat sucker. You and your kids will be paying back that tax cut where Murdoch got $1 billion for the rest of your lives.”
