No argument needed. Conservatives are right.



Which is how Leftists have acted for the past decade. How did that work out for them?

Call them racist when they use facts. Works every time.

1. Be as intellectually dishonest as possible.

2. Do not support your claims with any facts.

3. Claim victory.

4. Call them a racist and/or bigot.

maybe a mean name or a failed attempt at a funny meme

or why bother with conversing at all. Maybe you could self-identify as an infallible argument, thus if they oppose you you have permission to beat them with a bike lock.

Call them names, ignore facts and mention anything that doesn’t pertain to the discussion. Also, bring up something that Reagan did in the 80’s.

IF you can successfully show me how I can have a more fruitful life by becoming devoid of personal responsibility you may need to consider a career in law.

In the meantime, piss-off prog-filth.

Well first off if you are arguing with a conservative you are arguing for the wrong side of the argument if the said conservative is articulating the conservative position properly. You also need not use the word Trumpkin because as a conservative I would disengage you immediately from further debate with myself. Cheers bro!

They're still acting that way, they're just pissed off they've been dethroned. Newsweek puts out an article every other month on how Hillary could still be President. They were so fricking cocky that she was going to win that they let Trump host SNL during the campaign. They assumed that they've won the culture war, and I thought so as well before Trump took office. I've always been with the Republicans fiscally, but I just assumed they would naturally lose the culture war to progressivism as a whole.

Now I'm starting to consider myself more socially conservative than liberal like I used to. I'm glad they were ambushed and that they now have to put forth a rational argument besides "That's -ist or -phobic". They got complicit, and I think anyone with a 3 digit IQ should know how to debate a Leftist these days. It's not really difficult at all when you ask them to bring up basic facts over feelings.

The labels "liberal" and "Conservative" are generally meaningless in political debates.

You lose because your feelings aren’t facts

well you could take a page out of their playbook. Scream FAKE NEWS at anything you don't agree with without doing an ounce of research on whether it's true or not. Call any counterpoint to your argument a melt.

First step is to find a really stupid person that is conservative. Otherwise you will surely fail.

Taking my post way too literal. Was merely making a joke that Liberals "acted" like they were right, while Conservatives were right.

There is a difference in arguing with "conservatives" and "liberals" who have really looked at both sides.

Versus echo-chambered hacks who are a waste of time and energy. There is a quote from George Carlin or somebody about arguing with idiots.

I think you're arguing with an idiot not a conservative.
