As an enlightened centrist(tm), I will be (again) voting R all the way b/c the Overton Window has been shoved so far over to the left, It's falling off the damn building.
As I said in 2018, at this point, even voting for a "moderate" Democrat is like giving "just a lite beer" to an alcoholic. The Left is addicted to power, they literally say crap like "if we don't win, that means the system is broken.", and just like a junkie, they fly into a violent rage when they can't get their fix.
It's incumbent on all of us to take away their drug until they go cold turkey for a good long while and do some serious introspection on their life choices.
"I'm just going to ignore any facts on their side completely the way they ignore any facts on ours."
Beware that, when fighting monsters, you yourself do not become a monster... for when you gaze long into the abyss. The abyss gazes also into you.
I would say the better thing to do is the opposite. On the rare off-chance that they bring up something that's true, acknowledge it and use that as a convo hook to bring them back to reality.
