Don't give up on hope. Scott McNeil asked the excellent question on his FB live event with me "How do you argue with members of the Left? Do you just immediately block them?" I am a teacher. I believe training works. Some people don't know the issues. I have an open invitation to discuss issues. I have friends or former students who have strong left wing values. In all my years, I have never had a rational response to AGW hysteria (Why spend over $100 trillion opposing plant food to achieve a fraction of a degree's change in 100 years?), or illegal migration (why expose desperate people to piracy and possible death while simultaneously lowering security against terrorism?), Capitalism (why oppose the means for poor people to escape poverty?), Israel (why support the mythical claim of Palestine and deny the valid need for Israel's security?). So effectively I give rope and they hang themselves. Some become desperate to talk to me, and yet they are rabidly antisemitic, hate people and are abusive. Here is a tip lefties, it is ok to think I'm a homophobic, racist taking money from big oil, but it is a poor argument to call me those things when I'm not. Hillary did a magnificent job with that, but even with your full support, failed convincingly and may yet go to jail for corruption.
The left tend to argue through abuse, not logic. Allegedly Manus Island illegal immigrants are 'living in squalid conditions' because they refuse to clean up after themselves with toilets and showers. AGW hysteric warn we are now producing so much food from excess CO2 that we'll get fat. Public health doctors in Victoria feel they cannot speak out in debate against euthanasia legislation according to NSW public health officials. I oppose the Euthanasia legislation proposed for Victoria because I know the safeguards are not in place to effectively manage it. It will work and people will die, but not necessarily the terminally ill in unnecessary pain, but the lonely and sad .. and the occasional victim of foul play. I know now why lefties are screaming at the sky a year after Trump won election. Because they do not reason in debate.
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells swing and jingle bells ring
Snowin' and blowin' up bushels of fun
Now the jingle hop has begun
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells chime in jingle bell time
Dancin' and prancin' in Jingle Bell Square
In the frosty air
What a bright time, it's the right time
To rock the night away
Jingle bell time is a swell time
To go glidin' in a one-horse sleigh
Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and a-mingle in the jinglin' feet
That's the jingle bell rock
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bell chime in jingle bell time
Dancin' and prancin' in Jingle Bell Square
In the frosty air
What a bright time, it's the right time
To rock the night away
Jingle bell time is a swell time
To go glidin' in a one-horse sleigh
Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and a-mingle in the jinglin' feet
That's the jingle bell
That's the jingle bell
That's the jingle...
