    How best to engage with these people anymore is a really daunting and disturbing question. You generally can't reason with religious fundamentalists. And now our political + media institutions are being controlled by self-deluded religious fundamentalistshttps://twitter.com/ggreenwald/status/1121039386865557505 …

    It seems clear that DC Democrats and their key media allies genuinely believe in crucial parts of their brains that the Mueller Report vindicated their Trump/Russia conspiracy theories rather than demolished them. That level of reality-denial among powerful factions is scary.

        This is not goin to change until enough people they consider a peer say, “let’s pull this back a little.” But most are addicted to retweets that come from telling people what they want to hear, and it’s tough to get off that drug.

        If I were you, I would decompose the problem to smaller pieces. Stop trying for the Grand Slam, focus on whether what happened with Russia is necessarily worse than what happens with other countries. What is “hostile” power, and can people vote to change grand strategy? Why not?

        That's just moving the goalposts to the next tenet of their faith. Trump is a conman, but overall, there's no evidence that Russia hacked an election, or colluded with him. Hillary lost. They can't accept that reality. And they've gone full Birther with Russiagate.

        You are wrong! The Dems + Media KNOW the report "demolished" them, but they continue because they believe the partisans, progressives, millennials, and immigrants will believe whatever they say. The Media/Left is not Fred Phelps (Westboro) they are Saul Alinsky 🇺🇸@ggreenwald

        Interesting. There is a lot of truth to this. Democrats in power and the media are dishonest in their professed belief. But there are people who only get their news from these legacy media outlets that actually believe what they are told. I know because I spent Easter with them.

        The Mueller Report totally accepts the unproven premise that the Russian government hacked emails and tried to “sow discord” with Facebook ads.

        Exactly. Mueller is a hoax from the top to the bottom. Everything in it is vaporware starting with the premise of Russians hacking the DNC, of which there is no evidence whatsoever.

        Engagement is simple: go around & thru them. There’s no “conversation” to be had. Our national & existential challenges are revealing them for what they’ve always been: courtiers to power, uninterested in necessary revolutionary change. just like every courtier class in history

        Is there an a single heavily sourced, airtight, and verbose argumentative piece one can easily point to that systematically debunks each claim? That would probably go a long way.

        In the nineties, Democrats identified Republicans with the Moral Majority and the Religious Right of Ralph Reed, with fundamentalists prone to violence (bombings) and survivalist militias. Now, Democrats have turned into them. They are violent ideological fundamentalists.

        I'm not convinced their perfidy is the result of religious-like fervor. Perhaps they're just copying Trump's style of slash-and-burn, denial-and-triumphalism and ising it on the nondoctrinaire Left?

        It’s really impossible to reason with most of the democrats. They so deeply believe that Trump colluded/conspired they refuse to accept the report and are trying to justify their beliefs by “interpreting” the report.
