When out distributing political flyers people will often come up to me pretending to want a conversation and learn something about my/our points, but just talk over me all the time. Their purpose is not to listen, or to learn, or to question, but just to feel like they matter.
Had a guy recently tell me about how he is a mechanic and that he did his own study where he found out that combustion engines do not, in fact, let out any CO2. He started it all with “give me 3 reasons to vote for you” to put me on the spot, then immediately was like “ok, I have 3 not to do it.”
There is no conversation with people like that, I’ve tried it often. Now I just wish them a nice day and go away as it’s not my job to waste time trying go educate them talking against an idiot wall.
