There is another method. I call it the “Yeah but...” method. It’s where you agree with them but slide in a truth they are trying hard to avoid.
Liberal: “We need to convert all energy sources to Green”
Me: “I agree and I, like you, are willing to pay more for it but the poor in places like Appalachia are struggling to pay their electric bills”.
The “yeah, but...” method, while it may shut them up for a specific topic, it still validates their use of argument and drama as a means of control.
