And none of this is going to change their beliefs or their minds so why bother?
I don’t argue with idiots.
Thank you so much for writing them out. I almost never have the ability to watch / hear videos.
While these strategies are wise, they wont work against leftists or Gullibles. Leftists are sneaky and will just keep coming back with their pet phrases and call you names. Leftism is their religion. You cant use these 10 tactics to argue against a Christian that Christianity is wrong / doesnt exist. So neither can logical tactics help you win against a believing leftist.
You will madden a Gullible. They will start to see their belief in leftism they sucked from their tv and peers is built on nothing, and they will dig in and defend and again resort to ad hominem. I do not think anything but day in day out neutral logic pounding will convince a Gullible that they were gullible.
I was a Gullible. I was supposed to be a liberal according to every mainstream thing I read or saw, so I was one. I didnt really care but I wanted to be correct so I went with it, because EducationalSystemFrom2to22. Right? How did I become a common sense conservative, then? No conservative tried one on one to logically sway me.
1. I had a baby. Started to think about what I wanted for him. Common sense and goodness started to creep in when I thought about the world for someone whom I loved more than anything.
2. I got laid off in a socialist country. This was the #1 thing that drove me to principles of economic freedom. I got to stay home with my baby full time and earn 90% of my salary, then it went down to 80%, then at 2 years it was around 70%. My best friend was doing the same thing with her baby. It just wasnt right.
3. I had heard of this radio Shock Jock Rush Limbaugh. I tuned in to hear the monster Id heard about when I got back to the states. What? Where was the raving lunacy? I actually agreed with everything he said, he was funny, and I didnt go on the defensive alone in my car. I just kept listening. And agreeing. And starting to read more about politics on my own and come to some new conclusions.
That last point is huge because when an individual you KNOW comes at you, you of course gather a defensive attitude. When some guy is blabbing on the radio, you are more receptive because no one is watching. Sure, you can yell at the radio, but maybe one day you dont any more because the guy just said something smart and funny and true...
