How I got a magat to totally shut up

[KS Toronado]

Was at an auction Saturday 60 miles from home when a stranger and I started talking about the auction and
weather and who we were and from, to feel him out I said "Sure looks like tRump's in trouble"

He went off on me like I was a Liberal (he got that right) with all the FQX/GOP talking points how Biden has
weaponized the law against his lord and savior all to win the election etc, etc, etc

He went on about how corrupt our legal system is today, this coming from a active duty police officer who
I'm sure has gone into courtrooms to testify. So to calm him down I said.......

"HEY, I'm a registered republican and we know the rich and powerful always tend to get away scot free" at this
he calmed down like a turned off light bulb and agreed with me, then I hit him..........

"But you know what they're charging him with is basically all the same stuff they charged his lawyer Michael
Cohen with and he got several years in jail, sure be interesting if he runs for President from jail"

At that point he walked away looking confused and dumbfounded.

1. eggscllent.

lol

3. LOL, It's a ton of fun to watch them go sputter sputtt sputtt

Hope enough people see this to arm them with a question Rs have a hard time dealing with, we need
to get them to think rationally.

To keep and save that emoticon to use, right click on it, choose "copy image link", go to a word document
and "paste" and note what it is so you don't forget, then whenever you want to use it just copy & paste again.

2. it would be further interisting to see him being prez whilst in jail.!!!!!

[niyad]

15. FUCKING HELL NO!!!

[AZ8theist]

23. Agree 1000%

Rot in prison until he dies, yes.

Trying to run the country into the ground while in prison, NO.

[brer cat]

4. Good jab, KS.

[Grumpy Old Guy]

5. You could have added...

...that Trump and Barr sent Cohen back to prison during Covid.

[KS Toronado]

6. Questions always work best when dealing with Rs

"Why didn't tRump pardon his long time employee & lawyer"? would work good IMO.

[PatSeg]

9. Yes

Responding with questions almost always works best in any argument. They are rarely prepared for it and it opens new doors.

[Demsrule86]

7. Good job!

Made him think.

[PatSeg]

8. They don't really know what they think

They only know what they've been told to think and believe. If you go off script with them, they don't know how to respond, because they are already programmed with Fox News propaganda.

10. Spot on Pat

[OMGWTF]

12. THIS! THIS! THIS!

My son was one of two Dems in his USCU unit (the other being their lesbian CO). He would try to "smarten up the MAGAt chumps" with verified facts, video, etc. about the crimes of their Lard and Savior DJT, and their response was always "Fake news!" It's a cult. Period.

[PatSeg]

13. Oh yes, right-wing media has taught them well

Anything they hear that disagrees with what they believe is "Fake news".

That reminds me of trying to argue with a fundamentalist Christian. If you point out a legitimate discrepancy in what they believe, they just reply, "But the bible says...." and all discussion ends. It is their predictable fallback response, because they've never been taught to think, only to obey.

Of course, there's also "God's will" and "God works in mysterious ways, ours is not to question why".

[Justice matters.]

11. So much winning LOL...

And you didn't even have to mention Cohen and the criminal-defendant-hitler2 wannabe are on tape Cohen recorded before he pleaded guilty and was sentenced to jail time for it.

Good!

[SupportSanity]

14. Good job! I'm always amazed at people who have the right thing to say at that moment.

I would walk away unsuccesfully and think of the right thing to say a half an hour later. Always too late.

There should probably be another forum for successful interactions with MagaTs so we could all be armed at the right moment.

[KS Toronado]

25. I've also thought we could use a forum along those lines

Mine would be questions to ask Rs who would have a hard time finding answers for.

[Bluethroughu]

16. It was a battle of witts, and he was unarmed.

[littlemissmartypants]

17. You're so funny. Well done! I wish I had been there.

I can keep a straight face under the most challenging circumstances. It would have been so much fun! ❤️

[slightlv]

18. Excellent, Toronado!

Hopefully it was also a good day for you at the auction, too! Used to loved to go to auctions. Haven't been in about 4 decades... as a kid, I used to always go to the small town auction at home with my dad. Mom was always mad at the "junk" we'd bring home! (LOL)

[KS Toronado]

26. Yes it was a good day at the auction, had a post in collectors forum

had 30 to pick from for my high bid..........took 2

19. Zing!!

[Silent3]

20. I've long figured that many MAGAts don't think Trump is innocent...

...they just get mad because they think everyone is doing illegal shit, so it's somehow thus unfair to not let Trump get away with it too.

And, of course, they are angry about the (mostly imaginary) stuff they think Democrats are getting away with, and do want the law to come down hard on them, even if being a Democrat is the only thing a Democrat is "guilty" of.

[machoneman]

22. Hillary did it too. Why isn't she in jail? Bill too. Heck, all Democrats do it and should be in jail, right? Lunatics!

[cstanleytech]

21. Another thing can do is ask them in a friendly voice how are they enjoying that big tax break he gave them?

When they ask what tax break or say they didn't get one then calmly ask them "Oh, what did he sign into law that helped you directly then".
Then just back away as it will throw them into a feedback loop.

[Cha]

24. You are funny brave, KS!

That's the way to talk to them.. as a repub calling out TSF for getting away with shit.

Thank You fo rSharing!
