Trump dodged the draft with ‘bone spurs’. Any argument made about anyone else’s service is a moot point.

Plus, it's a lie. Walz didn't dodge anything, he submitted the paperwork to retire months before his battalion was notified of the possibility they might deploy.

And said deployment was said to be anytime within two years. It could have come a month later or 24 months later. Was he supposed to cancel his retirement for up to two years waiting for deployment?

In the time it takes you to write this response, the right-wing troll reposts ten more "woke liberal bad" memes, then comes back to you with a "stop crying lol". There's no arguing with these people, they don't operate on reason, only surface-level vibes. Proving them factually wrong about something makes you the bad guy for harshing that vibe, since the facts were never the point to begin with.

Oh, I'm well aware of their tactics.

"Tactics" gives them way too much credit. It's more of like the weaponization of gorillas throwing shit at a wall.

Hey man, gorillas are highly intelligent animals with sophisticated emotions and relationship.

You're right. I couldn't find an anology to a creature that fits. Definitely up for suggestions. Brain eating amoebas don't really throw shit at the wall, so if we wanted an accurate analogy to the emotional capacity of MAGA we'll have to compromise on something.

Only make arguments for onlookers. Trolls are too far gone.

‘Knee-jerk reaction’ is their default setting. Reason doesn’t come into it.

It's no wonder ai manipulation has worked so well on them

It's a propaganda war, the American left should focus on sharing material about disgusting, embarrassing, bizarre, violent and unintelligent things republicans have done, like child molestation etc. It's not about winning an argument with the opposing propagandists. Obviously they aren't going to say "oh you're right I'll stop spreading propaganda now"

In addition, the left should propose a policy program based on elevating the working classes, but the Democrat party won't do that. They'll do the whole "competent economic managers" routine until it kills them.

So what do you do then the only way to engage them is not to engage but if you don’t engage, they control the social media hemisphere

There is a point to arguing with them, though: To show others who may need a good example that these people's bullshit is NOT acceptable.
