The best way to win an argument? Shout louder than everyone else and people will simply assume you’re right

It worked for Biden vs. Ryan.

WSU trying to validate the Alinsky theorem.

Very good observation!

Feigned outrage wins arguments for liberals. Bill Clinton was a master, Hillary used it in her faux testimony on Benghazi, and even Bob Beckel uses it on 'The Five'. The MSM considers the case closed when one of their beloved plays the outrage card.

The more opinionated they were, the more influential and trustworthy they were perceived to be.

Seems that the people studied are far smarter than the people studying them in this case. Would not people who deserved credibility on the subject by virtue of knowing about it be more likely to be opinionated on the subject?

the study analysis used Twitter. How does one shout on Twitter? ALL CAPITAL LETTERS? WORTHLESS ARTICLE ABOUT A WORTHLESS STUDY. There.I win.

I am a WSU grad...sigh.

They let you think you won so you’ll shut up.

Then they walk away and let you bask in your ignorance.

And laugh about your arrogance.

And tell everyone what a dumb, loudmouthed jerk you are.

[wku man]

Hehehe...I hope some CommieLib SOB tries it with me sometime. Not only will I be right, but I'll put on my "sergeant's voice", and bellow the truth at him 'til he turns to fairy dust and blows away.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

There are members of my wife’s family who live by this. Nobody thinks they’re right.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Usually you will find that you have bored the people who listened to you to the point where they shrug and say "Whatever dude."

They then walk away.

Not sure that is "winning".
