You can't explain stupid to stupid.

You kind of can, but for the most part, it is better to just not engage unless they are showing themselves to be an open and honest interlocutor.

TIL the word "interlocutor"

"1. a person who takes part in a dialogue or conversation."

I've been trying to find an alternative to interlocutor because I didn't think it made sense in english. Life is about to get much easier !
