(6,148 posts)Every source I cited was "fake news".
I think if I had found something from FOX, it might have worked. They tell the truth sometimes.

So I found the things actually reported on at Fox news website and that just shut him up.

(7,413 posts)You have to build a foundation with links to Fox news. There are a lot of real facts there and it takes extra time.
Links to "leftist media" like Wikipedia, CNN, FactCheck, and Politico will be snickered at.
Usually the final weak comeback is a meme of a crying liberal or something like that. I consider that to be a concession of defeat. You can grind these sharp edges down.

(8,818 posts)even as far back as the Reagan "Democrats".........I have found that they are ALL completely irrational and beyond reason.......
It isn't worth your breath. If they are a friend or acquaintance, I just blow them off and never again associate with them ever again.
It feels better, the more you do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I liked an adage back in the old days: Never discuss your politics and religion, period.

(14,853 posts)It's because truth is secondary to power for many of them.
They want to find a chink in the armor of others so they can think that they won an argument, while ignoring the gaping holes in their own.
As soon as they reveal their lack of curiosity compared to their desire to conquer, it's no longer worth my time.
