She’s got the leftist verbiage down pat. Accuse others of what you’re guilty of. She needs to find Jesus.

The three primary and fairly unique debate weapons of the left:
Projection - accuse the opponent of exactly what you are guilty of
ad-hominem - when you have no argument, attack the opponent’s credentials or person.
Deflection - when you have no argument, change the subject.

The last one I just experienced on a leftist site. They were questioning my claim of 60 new miles of fence at the border. When I supplied links, they changed the argument to this:

1. How much did it cost?
2. Some of those miles were simply replacing old fence, not “new” fence. (yet the fence was new)

I just call them out and move on.
