Life is too short to argue.

Especially with "idiots" and by idiots I mean people that have already made up their mind NOT to understand. I fell into this way of conversing when I was here 7 years ago and wasted so much precious time I'll never get back. Now I just delete and block.
How do you deal with similar situations? Do you prefer to argue?

Comes a time in every discussion, and it's often early in the discussion, when you realise they just want you to agree with them... Time to walk

I feel the same way. Arguing isn't worth the energy or the effect it has on myself. I've seen enough negativity in my life. I don't even get mad at people that try shit with me anymore really. It's unfortunate that they feel affected in such a way

@Strictmichael75 True I do believe every situation is different.

I follow my father's advice: Don't get into a braying contest with a jackass.

For the most part yeah it's best to let stuff go, but there are times I do speak my mind. Sometimes people need to be stuck up for, sometimes we don't deserve to take things silently .

@EldritchFox Yes it's possible to speak one's mind without arguing.

I try to understand and then just give up

These days, with most people it's better to just shut up and walk away because they are so set in their beliefs that no matter how much documented proof you present to them they will still deny it. People like that will never change their mind or concede when they've lost the argument!!!
I was dragged into something like this from December last year to January this year. I've been here since I was 17 without getting into anything like this. Don't drag me into your own projections of your inner turmoil. It's definitely ruined how I relate to most here now.

@HijabaDabbaDoo Sorry you went through that. I am definitely being more careful this time.
@CoffeeCat it's okay, I'm over it. Just cognisant of the toxicity now.
Nooo……. this place has provided a good lesson in not having to get the last word and not wasting time on knuckle draggers.
