We have more than a couple pf dyed-in-the-wool Qultists. One guy called Trump our "kick ass president" (same one referred to Biden as "the freak show" last year). Then another one called Kristi Neom "hot" ( ), and then they all preceded to rail on trans women in women's sports. I seriously want them to name one professional female athlete. If not, then they couldn't give a flying fuck about women's sports.

But yes there's some people whose minds will never be changed, even with some Full Metal Jacket style reprogramming.
