No one is going to listen to all that. They use the “convicted felon” trope to shut down your argument. I just laugh at them and admonish them to do better. That prompts them to inquire about your position. Then you can ‘splain it to them.

This is a common discussion technique which liberals use to shut down argument.

This reminds me of how if you question anything about all this LGBT stuff, you are said to be bigoted, and then the liberal takes the morally superior stance ,that you are a bigot. And thus not worthy of discussion.

If you oppose aaffirmative action, you are said to be a racist, and then the discussion ends.

If you oppose abortion on demand, you are said to be sexist and you want women impaled on coat hangers. Again, the discussion ends because the liberal does not deem you worthy of discussing the issue.

If you oppose all this global warming business, you are in favor of despoiling the environment. And you want people to die in a polluted environment. And again, you are deemed to be so reprehensible for having such views , that you’re not worthy of being on the same discussion level as the liberals.

You are right, laughing at them is about the only thing they seem to register. You cannot have a rational discussion with an irrational person. If they can’t grasp what bathroom to use or that genders cannot be changed, how do you get them to understand anything of substance? It’s about as productive as explaining astrophysics to a squirrel.
