They should ask these people the real question: "Will you now start listening to the people who have been warning others of Trump?"

When you meet a person like this, it's tempting and easy to insult them, but that is not the way forward. They will only double down...

They need non judgemental discussions, to make them start exercise their brain for real.

And it doesn't sound like any of these people "come to term with their stupidity". If they did and recognized their mistakes, I would show empathy and maybe even sympathy.

You're right, and I hope the people near this guy do that - just like I hope we all, if we confront this situation, act like human beings with empathy, to be better than them.

For this, though, on the internet where this guy will never see it, some schadenfreude is totally in order.

In person sure. It's essential for persuasion. But here let me just enjoy watching assholes get own goals.

I share your view. I hold back my desire for schadenfreude by realising that the greatest punishment would be if they grew to understand the harms of their actions and views. Empathy can hurt like a removed
