Yes. Exactly what the Left does.
The concept of pilpul was very illuminating to me. I wanted to use the word in a post last night but wanted to tie down the exact meaning first & found this article.
Pilpul means so much more than I thought. It summarizes the assault on reason & on America by the left and the futility of engagement.
The American people are going to need to throw off this smoke screen and return to honor, integrity, and eschew moral relativity. The Left is dishonest to the core and seeks to use our best traits against us if we engage.

Nancy Pelsi has mastered it............listen to any of her interviews etc. and it's clear as a bell. But it's also why she had such trouble with Trump....he saw right thru her mumbo jumbo and disarmed her every time so she couldn't talk normal.

The thing about people using ‘pilpul’ over a period of time is they loose their ability to reason normally since the practice is of course deception. Like a liar soon believes his own lies...so too those who practice this tactic. It then becomes quite easy to justify to themselves they are in the right regardless of reality or facts otherwise.
