You can always know, if you want to, by actually engaging in constructive dialog. Which probably isn’t going to happen in this thread because it’s ostensibly about a raspberry pi LiDAR scanner, and thus neither really the time nor place.

The MAGA crowd is not even remotely interested in 'constructive dialog' and is so far down the hole of drinking the kool-aide, constructive dialog with them will likely never be possible.

You cannot have constructive dialog about astronomy with someone who thinks the sky is made of green and purple polkadots because that's what someone told them, and dismiss all evidence to the contrary as a massive conspiracy.

They don't even believe in democracy or constitutional rights - at least, for anyone but them.

I’m interested in constructive dialog, and I believe in democracy and constitutional rights. However, this is a thread about a neat LiDAR scanner.

It's funny - first you call me reductive but now it's all "I'm staying out of this one". Interesting how that goes.

Which many people could have afforded to build a few weeks ago, but now can't.
