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 usually grab the source for the story. For example if I read a Breitbart article about how hydroxychloroquine does 'x' I'll find the link to the study and use that.
Good idea but you’re brave to even touch on hydroxychloroquine with a liberal anymore. Their mind is so made up it’s poison I don’t even venture down that road anymore.
That's only for people who have logic and reason.
When I talk to a leftist I engage as dishonestly as possible. For example when discussing free healthcare for undocumented immigrants, I talk about how cruel it is to force a Honduran mother with two young children to cross such a vast amount of land to get the healthcare she has a right to. We need to send our best doctors and tax dollars to Honduras to treat these people.
They usually look perplexed.
Good idea -- why can't people in Honduras have a country they love?
Why can't we help them do that?
Leftards literally think HCQ is a right-wing conspiracy, that doctors speaking good of it are in on the conspiracy, etc.
Yeah like for over 50 years the right has been planning this amazing conspiracy...
Projection. Because their 50 plan is falling apart because of Trump
THIS ^ always link to original source. For those who might still be saved, it is the way.
"This is 2020, you need more than one study"
Then I proceed to engage in a completely dishonest way from there are on. I will turn this conversation into full blown clown world quicker than you can delete a tweet about hydroxychloroquine.
