Im actually having a back and forth with someone (high school) who keeps trying that. They have to just be playing....but then they have the ability to shut out reality really well.

According to Urban Dictionary, Sealioning is:
A subtle form of trolling involving "bad-faith" questions. You disingenuously frame your conversation as a sincere request to be enlightened, placing the burden of educating you entirely on the other party...

It's extremely common among right-wingers, even in face to face conversations.

he'll just ask more, and more, and more, stupider and stupider questions, pretending he doesn't understand your answers every time, until you get tired of it.

For this, I might make an exception.
