(9,350 posts)10. They Have To Be Negated
You cannot just let Donald Trump and Milo Yiannoplous get on stage and say stupid things and expect people to realize those things are stupid. You have to negate them when they say stupid things. Milo Yiannoplous' stupidity was exposed on Real Time even without Bill Maher conducting a hard hitting interview. Imagine what would have could have happened if a serious and smart liberal had debated Yiannoplous. He could have been further exposed. I think when a stupid person is given a platform, but there is someone there to negate them their stupidity is exposed.
