Just a staggering lack of intellectual honesty.

How do you have a discussion with such people?

I made a thread a while ago (last year or before) where I attempted to have a discussion about government healthcare with an ex gf who is a leftist journalist in nyc now.

I was trying to discuss the financial impact of government healthcare in the country and how the most conservative estimates place the costs at around $45T over tirst 10 years, which is more per year than the entire US budget.

Her response: “frick your money.”

Me: “What do you mean frick the money?”

Her: “I mean frick your money. I don’t care what it costs.”

Me: “But you can’t just say frick the money. There has to be a realistic and...”

Her: “You’re not listening to me. frick. Your. Money. Period.”

You should have shown her a picture of a wheelbarrow of Deutsche Marks that were used to buy bread in post WW1 Germany and ask if she’d like that to be the way she buys food.
