Let me explain the question:

If fox news and religious propaganda are exactly that, propaganda, then they are victims.

If, however, every person is free to listen to what they want and then rant against liberals, migrants, Muslims, Arabs, trans, gays, atheists, you name it, then they are just gullible.

I’d have more patience for a victim than a gullible person.

Everybody is free to believe what they want to believe. What I don’t get is why they have to stir things up and why they believe they are the only ones getting it and everyone else is dumb, woke, a communist or is going to hell. Why can’t they keep their opinions to themselves?

    They’re absolutely NOT a victim. A victim is an unwilling participant in an act committed against them.

    Stupidity isn’t not a viable excuse to be a victim.

      It absolutely is. Consider elderly people getting scammed. You really want to defend the fact that they aren’t victims?
