I used to savor a good dust-up with Trumpkins

[Tarc]

in real-life, social media, wherever. It was great to poke holes in their bullshit.

But in the last few days, honestly, I've started to fray. They cite literal fake news over and over, and counter everything you say with such shameless baldfaced lies or dismissals...

"Jeff Flake and Colin Powell are voting for Biden" ---> "DEEP-STATE SWAMPIES!"
"Report on NBC News says a fake intelligence firm..." --> "FAKE NEWS!"
"Kyle Rittenhouse drove (well, was driven by mommy) across state lines to..." ---> "SELF_DEFENSE!"
"White supremacists plotted to kidnap Gov. Whitmer." ---> "ONE OF THEM WAS ANTIFA!"

I'm just...done.

3. I was done with them over 4 years ago

Even before the election, I could see there was no logic behind their arguments, it was simply "my team, to the death!" Can't argue with that.

5. My dad taught me years ago.

Argue with and idiot and he will drag you down to his level and win thru experience.

Or as my farmer Papaw used to stay. Never wrestle a pig in shit. You will both get covered with shit and the pig likes it.

I ignore them. Not that I do social media.
