Sometimes I’ll just be like ‘you’re not a high school social studies teacher, you don’t need a works cited page. Either believe it or not.’ Other times I’ll point out their pattern of behavior and argument strategy before they even get to the final stage, where they say since it didn’t come from a reputable source it doesn’t count. They don’t seem to grasp all of their beliefs are being influenced by propaganda sources so of course any real news will seem strange to them. They’re interesting creatures.

That goes against their liberal friends bitching about Trump banning it so it’s better to ignore any potential threat. Hatred for Trump is more important than any value to country.

So you are saying that they have a counterargument ? Or just that the argument is over ? Not understanding you...

Their counter argument for that particular incident was ‘it’s a conspiracy theory.’ But oftentimes it’ll be ‘that site is trash.’

That's not even an argument. That's just name-calling. A three-year-old can do that. All you can do is point out that the name-caller is behaving like a three-year-old.
