I absolutely have no time for these people. Honestly, round them all up, ship them out to the countryside and make them pick fruit for a living. Their arrogance combined with their ignorance and insane paranoia just pisses me off.  They are cretins.

While I agree with your assessment, let's put our brains together to come up with a better solution.

Let's see:

-ridicule
(that seems to work a little, but not completely.  maybe one tool in the box.)

-engage and build trust
(doesn't seem to work.  they have their own disinformation networks that are unassailable and ridiculous.)

-harassment
(sure but be careful)

-fake engagement
(perhaps forment ambassadors from within existing political movements to deal with them ?  a new idea...)
