The easy answer seems to be that we need to parrot what they are doing.
But then we become like them and continue this culture of ignorance. I think the best solution is to heed Emma Goldman's words that "the most violent element in society is ignorance." The right wing cultivates ignorance, while we should be helping everybody learn to think for themselves and develop good bullshit detectors.
And this needs to happen without sending more people off to formal schooling that exists to perpetuate ignorance.
