Last week, Dan Bongino talked about the pointlessness of arguing with the left. He said something like (I paraphrase from memory), "We think the left are simply people with bad ideas while the left thinks we are simply bad people." He went on to say that while pointless in terms of trying to convince the person with whom you're "arguing," it's worthwhile because others, who may be open-minded and paying attention, might be persuaded.
This was driven home to me via a Facebook discussion that started out with a friend's cartoon suggesting that CRT is an innocuous addition to the teaching of American history that shows some of the darker chapters.
My response was: "No one opposes teaching history, warts and all. I studied slavery, Jim Crow, the Trail of Tears, Chinese workers basically in servitude to build the RR and more. You keep mischaracterizing CRT as just teaching the negative side of American history. It's not. The heart of CRT is that the US is systematically racist and minorities can't succeed. That's fiction and you know it."
That started a firestorm from a friend of my friend, from which I've excerpted:
It's apparent that you gained little insight from your studies. If they didn't touch on the racist systems that led to those events occurring, you obviously got the sanitized, white washed version where the savagery and downright inhumanity to any non-white man BY white men was totally excluded. Just like your fellow GOP white Supremacists, there is NO reality that y'all can't bend to save your false sense of identity that you're superior to all non- whites and European genius and goodness is the only reality there is.

The left cant meme, so think of your argument as a meme war.
Make each of your statements a meme: humor with a kernel of truth at the center.
Brutalize the liars with the truth. The truth prevails.
Destroy your enemy with truth.
This is war. Do not be nice. Assume your opponent is being paid. An insincere enemy is easier to demoralize. One up your opponents. That is, whatever tactic your opponent uses, do it better. Use insults. The enemy deserves humiliation. With the truth on your side you should be able to slap the enemy's face with near impunity.
Treat them like the scum they are. Have fun at their expense. Insult their mother.
PS, these tactics above will not work on facebook or twitter or anywhere heavily moderated by the left. Avoid those corrupted platforms like the plague.
I’ve found that arguing with leftists is a waste of time. They saturate themselves with lies from liberal media. And they end up wanting to believe the lies. That results in them living in a different reality.
I think leftists are very bad people.
