I am sitting at my normal watering hole on this Friday night.
I have a professional day job. I am also a musician. I decided to sit out on a gig tonight. I’m glad I did.
I packed up my tobacco pipe and headed to my bar. I found a friend of mine as I walked in. He is a very vocal liberal. Hates GEOTUS and everything about him. Fine, whatever.
We talked. It somehow shifted to politics. Weird, since I never bring it up if I know I disagree with whom I am speaking with.
He started ranting about Trump. I listened, as always. I didn’t debate. I just listened.
Then, he did something that flipped a switch.
He called me a racist.
I said absolutely nothing racist. I didn’t defend my political beliefs while he was ranting.
He called me “inherinly racist” for being white. He’s white.
I fucking lost it.
I’m not going to go into what I said due to me not wanting to give too many clues about myself and inadvertently doxxing myself to a fucking leftist. But, I will say that I feel invigorated.
I finally started offering rebuttals to stupid leftist shit on social media.
I’m. Done.
I voted for him in 2016 and (cue Goofy meme) I’ll fucking do it again.
Trump 2020. Let’s Make America Great Again once more, Pedes.
They will deny and ignore facts, reality, and any proof you show them.
Then they will lie, lie, lie some more and argue strawmans and what ifs.
After you've debunked all of their insane talking points, they will resort to playing word games with you.
If they still don't give up, they'll just end the insanity by calling you names.
It's pointless to argue with leftists and Democrats.
It always goes straight to, "You're the reason everyone thinks Trump supporters are stupid." Every. Single. Time. It's always the go to.
Tell them "You're the reason your father killed himself."
Won't work on everyone, until you find the right person.
"you're the reason women now want to be men" works better.
More accurately:
I find this to be a scarily accurate summary of what every single debate I’ve had with a leftist is like
Now I just don’t bother and move directly to ridicule
That is one thing that made me give up having political discussions with Leftists. It happen when I was talking to colleagues a few times. Each time they were all fired up over something about Trump, and I had a chance to research Shealy they were talking about, it was outright false. However whenever politics come up, I inform people as quickly as appropriate that I voted for Trump (just so they know who they are talking to), but I politely refuse to debate. I tell them I have no desire to change their mind, and I just wanted to be open about where I stand for conversation’s sake. I think it might piss them off even more because it takes away their ability to browbeat and bitch
