Heavy emphasis on the WAAAA! 
And also civil. Gets the message across. 
"Demonic possession"? That is really sad. Your response was perfect AND certainly in words he could understand. 
Way back when I was in my twenties, I used the word "basically" and the guy I was talking to thought I was being stuck up and accused me of being college educated. I was speechless that time, I didn't know how much more simplistic I could speak.
My daughter is really good at comebacks, usually short and to the point. When it comes to uninformed right-wingers, she is more inclined to ask a question which throws them off script. Just a simple, "Really? Where did you hear that?" can be very effective. She was really upset when she found out her beloved uncle had bought into all the right-wing media propaganda and she managed to really turn him around in a relatively short period of time. Hopefully it stuck. They can relapsed so quickly.
The "property damage" reference was saying that I wouldn't resort to their vulgar language, much like I wouldn't damage their property. I was tired and wasn't being very clear.
We live in such surreal times. It is often hard to take it all in. I have been around all kinds of people throughout my life and I've never seen anything like what we've witnessed in recent years. I can remember when political debate could be stimulating and civil, even fun sometimes. No one thought twice about putting a bumper sticker on their car or sign in their yard. I can't imagine what my father, a republican precinct captain, would think of a sign or pin that said Fu*K the opposing candidate.
