Except then they try to debate someone at a party and they get wrecked by facts. I notice they often get quiet and start backtracking. “I actually don’t know that much about this story. I actually don’t follow the news.” The main trick is to take the moral high ground from them and then be kind but firm. If you need to lay the smackdown on them, take the approach of the authoritative parent. They all have daddy issues, yet also long for that sort of strength and certainty. But the moral high ground is key because as soon as you frame yourself and your position as the more moral one, they get confused and thrown off their game. On this issue, I think the criminal being a RAPIST is how you shut this down.
Lefty: WE DEMAND PEACE! NO MORE INNOCENT LIVES TAKEN!
Me: Well there's been 32 deaths from BLM riots, often burning people alive. 9 unarmed black people killed by cops in 2019, but some of those were fighting back.
Lefty: Lobs personal attack then says I'm a racist
Remember, folks. We don't argue with leftists because we want to change their mind (we do, but we know it's probably not going to change). We argue with them because we want the person silently reading through it to get exposure to something besides the CNN talking points. We may never know who or how, but we must try our best to redpill the normies and save our country.
CONFUSED FRIEND: NOOOOOO! WHAT THE FUCK KINDA QUESTION IS THAT?
For the following months our Dictator (Gruesome Newsome) and "Mayor" (Garbagecetti) make irrational mandates.
ME: We have to stay in our house.
MORE CONFUSED FRIEND: ???????
During future conversations I would casually drop baby red pills. I used non triggering words like "The President" (instead of Trump) is giving us a stimulus, tax holiday, more stimulus, wants schools open, school choice, anything positive that directly affected them mixed with "The Mayor" (Garbagecetti) said he's blocking cars from certain streets to make more room for social distancing," and other hair brained schemes, etc. ($3k fine for no mask in Glendale).
AUGUST:
ME: The Governor closed all the churches again. (after closing them, opening them with social distancing, then no singing in church.)
EXTREMELY CONFUSED FRIEND: What the fuck is goin' on?
By the time that conversation was over they easily took all the red pills concluding with:

REAL CONVERSATION I HAD:
LEFTY: I hate Trump!
ME: Why?
LEFTY: He put kids in cages!
ME: Actually, that was Obama...
LEFTY (reeeeeing): I DON'T CARE WHO DID IT! IT'S WRONG!
ME: But I thought we were talking about Trump?
LEFTY (walks off)
Muh whatabootism REEEE
100% accurate. You counter them with facts and suddenly become a racist, homophobic, sexist, etc.
Same thing on facebook for me -
Lefty: WE DEMAND PEACE! NO MORE INNOCENT LIVES TAKEN!
Me: Well there's been 32 deaths from BLM riots, often burning people alive. 9 unarmed black people killed by cops in 2019, but some of those were fighting back.

MARCH:
