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'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?
