To think this person is an idiot

I follow a person on Instagram, she follows me. Beginning of the week she posted that she was fed up of being told she had to vote, that she had freedom of choice not to use her vote and "if one more, just one more person tries to pass off a Hollywood film as real life, I will literally lose my shit" when asked what she meant, she said people were saying suffragettes died for her to vote and they couldn't separate fact from the film Suffragettes which had been heavily dramatised.

She has then since been delighted that she manages to convince her nieces way of voting by telling her that for your first time, you tickets the first box on the list, your second time the second box and so on.

Yesterday she posted a story on Instagram of the heavy rain, then one of herself talking to the camera but crying and saying "I'm devastated that the weather is this bad, it's been manufactured by the Conservatives as it's proven Labour supporters vote less when it's raining"

This morning, she has now gone on a vile campaign on others pages who expressed their voting choices calling them racists, Islamic haters, Tory voters are yearning for a Hitler dictatorship, Labour voters deserve a Hitler dictatorship etc etc.

Actually I know I'm not being unreasonable, I told her she was an idiot she replied that I think I'm amazing because I voted and I think that gives me a right to an opinion when I have no right.

She sounds unhinged yet people are liking her comments. I've unfollowed and blocked her, but my goodness, people are strange!!

Yes. She's an idiot. Lots of them about, unfortunately.

Very strange woman!

Hahahahaha!

Is her name Belle End?

It's like social media turns people into absolute nutters. I think she went a bit bonkers over the Brexit vote too

Woman is an ignorant twat, but then you know that already. I'd unfollow pronto!

YouTheCat · 09/06/2017 08:22

The 'stupid' is strong in that one. Grin

pasturesgreen · 09/06/2017 08:22

Sorry, didn't read properly. You're well rid.

Zaberwocky · 09/06/2017 08:36

Unfortunately the world is full of ignorant simpletons Grin

However, seeing as it's social media I suspect there's a degree of 'oh look at me and how controversial I am.'

"I will literally lose my shit"

That sounds unpleasant to say the least HmmGrin

Sorry OP but, you needed to start a thread just to say that somebody you chose to follow and correspond with, is an idiot? And it took a week for you to ditch her? Confused

WomblingThree · 09/06/2017 08:45

Quite @LyingWitchInTheWardrobe. Seems the stupid is not necessarily one sided...

Deathraystare · 09/06/2017 08:54

She has not only lost her shit but lost her ever loving mind too. FACT.

Londonlovely · 09/06/2017 09:01

Social media augments stupidity, sadly.

Brittbugs80 · 09/06/2017 22:15

Womblingthree and Lyingwitchin

You pair sound equally delightful and I'm far from stupid. Due to the newly changed algorithms on Instagram, posts are no longer in order and are generated randomly, depending on how often you view your account and how often the person posts.

I saw her posts in one go when they appeared within a few posts of each other this morning. Not that I have to explain myself to you pair but when I read them, I unfollowed. It's not like I hung on for a week with baited breath.

Slow hand clap for you both for trying to turn into something it wasn't. If the post didn't interest you, don't imply stupidity on my part, when you could have ignored it and not replied. But if it makes you feel better by having a one on one snipe about me, knock yourselves out.
