Influencers Are the Last People You Should Go to For Advice

I know many influencers form my time highly active in politics. 

They're a curious bunch. Standing proud about how they are open minded and speak truth to power, such a horrible epithet.

The thing is, when you know a lot about a topic, and bring it to them directly, and they find it runs counter to their worldview, you hear very little from them again. 

They tend to leave you with a feeling much like Trump Derangement Syndrome.

And when the do finally reconnect, they are a different person - clearly you are not like at all any more. 

But the biggest signal is that after years of not disagreeing with you they will say something like:

"I never agreed with anything you ever said Robin"

To which I reply:

"Thats curious. Because I cannot remember you eve disagreeing with me on anything"
