Arguing with a MAGA cultist on SW, summarized

MAGA makes an unfounded assertion.

I request evidence of the assertion.

MAGA shares a clueless or inane meme, possibly with racist overtones.

I again request evidence.

MAGA makes an excuse for why there is no evidence.

I inform them that I do not believe their excuse.

MAGA commits the burden of proof fallacy, demanding that I disprove it.

I inform them that the burden of proof fallacy exists.

MAGA then makes the false claim that no matter what evidence they provide, I wouldn't believe it.

I again ask for evidence, assuring them that if they provide reliable evidence, I will consider it.

MAGA makes a reference to a time when a previous president did something superficially similar to what the current president is doing.

I point out that it is 2026, not whatever year it was when the other person was president.

MAGA's attention span has reached its limit, and they begin insulting me.

I retaliate, because there's not much else to do at that point.

Someone blocks someone.

Special thanks to @Convivial for reminding me about the whataboutism.

Well, to your first point. MAGAs probably don't realize they are making unfounded assertions. They get their info from right wing websites and don't understand why that's not proof.

You left out " what about ism" where they bring up some spurious fact about the last incumbent🤗

@Convivial Thank you. Adding that now, and I will give you credit.

@LordShadowfire no need to give credit...a joint effort lol

Unless you present as female. Then it's much more streamlined.

MAGA makes an unfounded claim.

I ask for evidence.

MAGA makes an insulting remark about my body.

I ask again for evidence.

MAGA gets on his alt accounts and tries to body shame me some more.

I make fun of their attention span, intelligence level, and the size and functionality of their favorite body part.

MAGA starts repeating himself.

At this point, I'm just giving him enough rope for the inevitable to happen.

MAGA becomes enraged that I'm not falling for his body shaming as a distraction and blocks me.

You missed one step when they post an innane meme instead of elabourating.

LordShadowfire · 46-50, M

@JimboSaturn Yes! How did I forget that? Thank you. Plus it's nearly always racist.
