Hey where was the motherfucker arguing they wouldnt deport legal people with me here? Huh? Where ya at?
They literally don't care. All they want is to win an argument against leftists in the moment; they actually see it as a weakness to be beholden to facts.
They're playing a different "game" entirely, one where rhetoric is more important than reality.
This point should be understood by all - they're programmed to get a dopamine hit in the moment by pissing you off.
They're not arguing in good faith and all the time you spend making rational statements is a waste. Nobody is keeping a scorecard that punishes them for losing an intellectual discussion.
The opposition to MAGA has to find a new path, because applying rational arguments in discussions ain't going to work.
This is why calling them weird was sort of effective. It's not a fact, it's an opinion. Now, I think it's a widely held opinion, but the point is it wasn't something they could argue with. It was sort of playing the game they've been playing.
Gotta stop going high. We know their tactics, we know how their brains work. We need to stop trying to devastate them with irrefutable facts, they don't care. Turn their own methods against them, destroy them in their language. The left has better trolls and meme lords, let's use them.
Playground antics can work on these types of people. First, you have to understand who they think they are, and what they take pride in. Then attack them incessantly based on the knowledge of what constitutes their ego.
They're at the other goalpost, we just don't know where it's been moved right now
My goalpost goes to another school.
You swear?
