> OK, so once again, you’re dismissing the other side’s arguments as lies.

Because they are lies. Assuming they are lying has served me well. When I did spend time assuming the best, I was disappointed time and time again to find out I'd been lied to. Now, assuming they are lying has proven to be the correct choice far more often than reasonable.

Why do you think we care at all about convincing people? Why do you think we haven't already tried to do an actual debate?

You can't have reasonable discussions with people who dismiss reality and facts. I'm not talking about opinions, but facts.

For example, who won the 2020 election? Who was the president when 9/11 occurred? Who was the President in 2020? Is Trump a felon? Who pays for a tariff?

None of these are opinion based. And yet, you see government leaders who are unable to answer these BASIC questions. And it filters down.

Sorry, but you can't debate with people who don't believe in basic facts.

Let me show you how that works:

> Also, once again: I am not your opponent. I don’t agree with this change.

Yes, you are. Yes, you do agree with this change. Why do you agree with this change? Why do you support it? Why do you hate America?
