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.

I love it when they send a Vox or Axios article as proof to their argument.
And of course won't accept an article from Breitbart or even something left like The Hill.
And they are taught to debate unfairly. We need actual debate moderators!
Of course we would have to teach debating to the masses since it's unknown to them that there are LONG ACCEPTED RULES to debates.
And those "articles" are usually an opinion piece from some Harvard graduate.
Debating fairly is based on logic. Which we all know is white supremacy...
