Instead of blaming or name-calling people who are paranoid or suspicious

You're leaving out the massively important fact that a basic science fact that one can experiment and experience themselves on a cool morning is enough to destroy these idiots. If your world view is that fragile then you deserve all mockery you get for holding it continually

Why go out of your way to disprove them, laugh at them, or name-call them? You can just empathize with them.

For me, I'd rather address why the government HAS felt it had the right to experiment on us. I can NOT blame these individuals for treading into delusion with our current system being the way it is, especially considering the history.

They're willingly living in stupidity. If we just let people do that we get people like Trump, so Id rather avoid that

Neither can I, but as I said you're purposefully ignoring a big part of what's being discussed: the part where they don't ever tread back out of delusion. There's 0 defense for that

The Clinton campaign and Democratic National Committee called for using far-right candidates “as a cudgel to move the more established candidates further to the right.” Clinton’s camp insisted that Trump and other extremists should be “elevated” to “leaders of the pack” and media outlets should be told to “take them seriously.”

Hillary Clinton, the DNC, and mainstream media played a pretty big role in Trump's rise to power. Everybody is responsible for his rise to power, but the facts are facts. They intentionally elevated him.
