"Oh, you're one of THOSE people." (What people?)
"Trump is not being impeached." (Simple to verify, not up for debate.)
"Biden is not Trump's opponent." (Didn't need to be questioned, but apparently it's also up for debate?)
"There is no truth." (Then what are we talking about?)
"You can't trust CNN." (But anyone with a YouTube account and a webcam is trustworthy.)
"Vindman is from Ukraine, so we don't know what his loyalties are." (You can't tell how trustworthy a person is based on where they were born. Textbook racism.)
"Watch the DOJ." (My spy van is in the shop and I lack a desire to confirm your biases.)
"I love you." (You can't cross a bridge after you've just burned it to the ground.)
The fact is, a person can only form correct beliefs if they test those beliefs in the crucible of reality. Sitting on the couch in some shit-smelling hoarder's hovel living off of your retirement is not a recipe for finding the truth.
Beliefs must have consequences, and as a consequence of their beliefs, they won't be seeing me alive again. It's really the least I can do. I'm not interested in playing a stooge for them to gleefully fling their ignorance at.
