What do you say after that?

Yup.

As a general rule, I've stopped arguing with Liberals. Their willful ignorance of the way things work just makes my head hurt. I had a Lib recently tell me...in all seriousness...that the cold winter we had was a result of global warming. I played dumb and said "So, if things get warmer, it's Global Warming, and if they get colder, it's Global Warming?"

Her answer? "Yes. You're not one of those crazy Global Warming Deniers, are you?" No thought, no nothing. Just parroting the party lie.

How do you argue with people who are unwilling or unable to think for themselves?

So have I. "Willful ignorance" is right -- they confuse facts with wishful thinking.

A couple of months or so ago, the adult (at least chronologically) daughter of one of my fellow synagogue members started screeching at me when I mentioned (in an otherwise polite group discussion about politics) that Clinton is the candidate for POTUS that I like the least. This woman who never met me before literally got in my face and demanded to know if I "have something against strong women." You don't want to know how she reacted when I calmly and factually pointed out why I don't think Clinton is a strong woman at all.
