I think it is wasted time trying to use logic against illogic.
They lie and obfuscate.
Liberals walk away when they are shown up.
Gun violence........abortion rights stolen....Climate disaster .....Trump....Trump....Trump
They yell, sweat, give out false stats, make up “reliable sources” and point their finger at your chest. Then say, “you don’t get it” and storm off.
Debate time is over. I don’t care anymore, I used to “tip toe” around looking to say the right thing. However, how do we debate evil intentions like grooming, drag queen bs and sexualizing kids? Debate time is done, it’s time to show them they’re radical and we are not looking for common ground.
White female leftists are just plain stupid. Black female leftists are violent and stupid. Leftist males are waiting for their cues from their females.
They can't argue their positions because they don't know how they arrived at them. And the few that are still rational in some parts of their lives (excluding their politics) are flummoxed when they see that their political positions are diametrically opposed to reality.
I have had more than one Leftie try to discuss (not debate, just politely discuss) and they quickly became frustrated because their political views were rationally indefensible.
One of those people, a very experienced cardiac nurse, said about climate change, it's "settled science." I asked her how science can be settled when it is the very nature of science to never cease digging into the mysteries of nature. In other words, is science ever settled?
She threw her hands up and stomped out of the room.
Big pet peeve and disappointment that it seems impossible to have an adult conversation about politics without the person on the Left driving the conversation downhill to hysterics, anger, and absolutely no reasoned argument whatsoever.
We lost very close friends because of their liberalism. Well actually they lost us. Got tiring of them touting Obamacare yet neither one would go on it. In 2016 they went after me about my preference of Trump over Hillary which set the stage for the end of our friendship. They had Hillary signs all over their property and when I asked them to name one good thing Hillary has done in 40 years they accused me of being sexist. When they asked me to name one thing Trump has done, I started with the Wolman Ice rink in NYC and went from there.
But I think it was the “If Hitler was a Democrat you would vote for him” that sealed the deal. That comment also had my in-laws not talking to me for 10 years.
The go straight to namecalling since they cannot point to any successes in their beliefs.
The same way the war mongering FReepers act if you question our involvement in the Ukraine?...
The classic fallback is, well I really just did not like how he talked with all the mean tweets and all...
2 dollar a gallon gas, low interest rates a strong dollar, energy independence, border security and no overseas war trump that is my response and nothing like a 100 dollar plus fillup to get my rant on, problem is there are few disacreetants to take me up
Dear Gary,
See my tag line.

Liberals tend to believe things because they feel it is the proper way to think. They can’t discuss it because they don’t fully understand it.
Also, I know very few liberals now. The people that used to be liberals are now Democrats. They get all their political opinions from the party so they can frequently change. Something they praised last year is now offensive to them. “A woman’s right to choose” is completely out now, like it never existed.

In my “view” this has been a developed process whereby the general population lacks the imaginative capacity to “see” in the “mind’s eye” what is said, as in radio for instance. Those who view the talking bobblel heads on TV see angry people with 3-4 real life issues, like killing the baby next door, or ending oil use for everyone else except themselves, or say killing their political opponents by running them over in crosswalks or other “instructed” guidance. The MSM on TV and their Newspaper of Record, advocate violence and even suggest the ways in which earn your Liberal Stripes - they are an army organized by rank and file, as the arm chair QBs, and then the foot soldiers of ANTIFA (good) or (Person who loves America - BAD BAD BAD), or members at the voting stations, the mules, or the politicans who are in it to line their pockets - none of them send their kids to public schools run by the Teachers Unions.
This one's easy, and I meet with a lot of it at local colleges. Just say, "That's ok, saying nothing actually says a lot," or "Fine, no answer is still an answer," or "I get it, some people are questionphobic."
As Rush once said, “A liberal will discuss issues for about thirty seconds, then start calling you names”.
The one I hear from liberals ... you obviously spend too much time listening to FOX News. My response ... and you obviously spend way too much time listening to ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC, PBS, & CNN.
