There was a time I would spend hours trying to convince someone that they were wrong, or mistaken. There was a time I got into debates with anyone who provoked.
That’s gone.
It’s been gone for a long time.
I recall sitting in a meeting and some guy was pontificating about a new law. I didn’t say anything. I was drawing a picture of a defecating dog. It’s something I do when someone is having oral diarrhea. At some point one of the officers of the group asked me if what the guy was saying was true.
“No.” I replied, continuing my drawing.
The reason I knew was because I had worked on the law. I was one of a number of people who drafted that law. That this guy would blather on and on, was no problem to me. I wasn’t going to jump up on the chair and announce my expertise.
After that event, people began to see me in a different light.
Recently, two friends of mine were in a discussion/argument on Facebook.
K has lost his mind and is a supporter of Trump. K is a Black Jamaican man who in in America on a work visa. D is married and living in Europe.
How K can support Trump makes every racist laugh until their bellies bust, because it is so funny. I mean K is the laughing stock.
D has been trying to force some daylight into K’s darkness without success. We got into a private chat.
I don’t say anything to K about his stupidity. If/When he is deported he can sing Trump’s praises. If he or his wife is brutalised for Being Black, hey, love it! That’s what you supported.
There isn’t an American who doesn’t know when Trump said; “Make America Great Again” he meant, “Make America White Again. It’s common knowledge. It’s like when a Jamaican uses the term “Babylon” he means police. Everyone knows it.
Yet, K is defending Trump. D is upset. Why? Stupidity is its own reward.
I have learned that to show contempt, the easiest method is silence. I don’t need to say anything. I can draw my picture of a defecating dog and keep my mouth shut.
If anyone asks me, sure, I can answer, but unless I am being requested? Why?

You are wise enough to be silent as a show of protest; and that dog can be one of them! ha ha ha! Such a nice way of venting! They will really admire you for that.
I don't bother try to shine daylight into darkness any more. People want to believe all sorts of things... well... run with it.
