How Liberals Respond When You Try to Debate Them
Over the last several years, my liberal friends have become less and less comfortable with utilizing classical debating styles — you know, where one person proposes a theory, explains it thoroughly with facts and figures and then responds to an...www.americanthinker.com
In debates with liberals, PLD can manifest itself in one of four ways. If a conservative asks a liberal a tough question or makes a comment that is outside a liberal's worldview, then one of the following three responses occurs (similar to the drooling, tail-wagging, and shaking exhibited by Pavlov's dogs):
1) The Hide in the Basement Response: This is where the liberal walks away without responding at all. This happened at a recent family party, where my forty-year-old nephew was complaining about Reagan's AIDS policies. I simply asked him to tell me which policies he specifically disliked. He became agitated and started typing things on his iPhone, clearly trying to find some answer to the question posed. (One might think he should have performed this simple due diligence before making his comments, but I digress.) He was visibly shaking, and it got so bad that his mother (in her 70s) had to usher him out the door. In his circles, no one ever questions his logic, since all his friends think exactly like him.
2) The Non-Response Response. This may take one of three forms:
A) "I am not going to dignify that question with a response."
B) The No Answer, Just Sit There Response. (A liberal Ph.D. academic was asked, "What is the independent clause in the 2nd Amendment?) He just sat there, as though he had never taken, or never understood, fifth- or sixth-grade English.
C) The Deflection Response. "Why was the Biden withdrawal from Afghanistan such a complete disaster?" "Trump would have handled it worse."
3) The Flip Response. This is where the liberal answers a serious question with an absurd response. In another conversation, a liberal was asked, "What does the 10th Amendment cover?" His response: "Everything." He had no real answer to the question, so he had to make up a ridiculous answer just so I would not press him further. I did anyway.
4) The Willful Ignorance Response. This is where liberals know every single thing about all of the rumors about Trump, including the one with Putin blackmailing him with videos of a Russian prostitute urinating on him, but they know nothing about Hunter Biden's businesses and potential influence-peddling because they just don't have the time to follow it.
If pressed further on the substance of their beliefs after they have given several PLD responses, in about 50% of the cases, liberals will then respond by calling the conservative one of the following: racist, misogynist, xenophobe, transphobe, phobe-phobe, anti-science. I have not figured out yet why it happens only roughly half of the time.
Once again, the idiots on the right are telling us what Democrats think, and as usual, getting it all wrong.
Biden's withdrawal from Afghanistan wasn't a disaster. It was a complete success story. There are some things that could have been done better, but compared to Viet Nam, he got 150,000 people out with miniman loss of life.
I know all about the Hunter Biden's business dealings and there is nothing illegal about them. If a bunch of people are stupid enough to give HB money because his Dad is important, then so be it. These ideas have been investigated ever since HB took that board position with Burisma and if there was anything to them, we'd know it by now.
So let's talk about the $2 billion the Saudi's gave Jared, and the fact that in the run-up to the Mid-Terms the Saudis are now driving to drive up the price of gasoline to undermine Biden's election chances.
Or the money they gave Mulvaney, or the dozens of personal trade marks that Chairman Xi gifted to Ivanka Trump, shall we???? These are Trump family members who were actively working for the President.
