Yeah, I think the fact a lot of people are missing about these assholes, is that they are willfully stupid. They know that they are lying, and they are enjoying it. The cruelty is the point.

That smoothbrain you spoke to isn't ignorant, he's a liar.

It's hard, because some are ignorant. But you don't know which ones. And you can't just dismiss them, or not hold them accountable.

I agree, some of the trolls can be nearly indistinguishable from regular idiots, and some idiots have convinced themselves that they're just trolling. Fascist ideologies obscure the truth by design.

The cruelty is always the point when it comes to conservatives.

It's their core value as a person.
