If they blindly follow bad ideas, why not contempt them and ridicule the bad ideas they espouse

As you well know, I'm generally pretty forthcoming any with disagreements I have, and I do try to encourage people to think clearly and question notions with which I disagree. Often people disregard these efforts, but I'm always chipping away whether I make progress or not.

However, that's different from having contempt for a person. Who am I to look down on another person, especially for failing to correctly grasp the complexity of politics?
