Trying to argue with conservatives.

All that they’re great at is detouring, distancing, playing down, doubling-tripling down, disassociating, strawmen and more illogical fallacies. They can’t take up an honest debate unless there are rules in place that gives them any outs from being pressed when confronted with questions they can’t give truthful answers to.

    And presenting facts to democrats, right? Both sides have basically the same people in them. Generally stupid people that learn a few things about politics, from the internet, then think they are able to suddenly have realistic opinions about a complex subject decades in the making because they watched a couple documentaries and podcasts (typically a younger crowd regarding)…

    Anyway, the 1st step in keeping it real about your political opinions is remember humans make up both sides. Humans… every bit of lovely and stupid, everywhere. You too. 2. Dont be so rigid, get some flex. People switch sides, and switch back, it happens a lot. 3. Keep it real by not following the cult of personality. Its such a major issue with trumpism that all others look completely tame by comparison. 4. 9/10 people dont want you inserting your political commentary into everything, this can be very hard for some people.

    Some people claim to vote 1 way but vote another actually, that was me, I wasnt keepin’ it real. Ive actuallyonly ever voted 3rd party, but ive lied to some people to avoid unwanted judgment and issues, yeah sue me.

    I dont know… this was a long stupid rant. I saw this cheap shot partisan comment and felt like something should be added.

    I might answer by changing the statement like so: presenting “facts” to the other political side feels like a losing battle because we stand diametrically opposed on issues, and the “facts” lead to different conclusions for both group, and neither will change their fundamental stance… hence, a losing battle.
