I hear what you're saying, but I don't necessarily agree with your moving forward points. Jeezy embodies the Trumpkins of the world, and there are 74 million of them, so when they get their talking points lined up and pushed out, it's both good practice for the brighter people who come after him, and good form to make sure their blatant lies and propaganda are answered. If they go unchecked, others might start to believe the lies.
Moreover, answer the Trumpkin lies gives everyone a chance to see the issues and hear the reality of the situation. At some point some Trumpkins are going to start waking up (OMG can they be the new WOKE culture?) and they will need a point of light to follow once reality starts setting in.
I do understand your point about not feeding the blithering masses, but there are good reasons to keep the fight going.
