Twitter asshole: The Constitution guarantees the states the power to run their own affairs regardless of what the federal government does.

Me: Actually, the Constitution gives the federal government the power to oversee the states' powers.

Twitter asshole: You're wrong. The Constitutional Convention in 1787 decided that the states should have all the power in the government. The founders were against strong, centralized federal authority!

Me: You're wrong, and that segregationist academy that taught you history did a poor job. The founders called themselves "Federalists" because they believed in a strong, central federal authority.

Twitter asshole: You need to educate yourself on this.

Me: I have bachelor's degrees in history and philosophy and a doctorate in political science.

Twitter asshole: By throwing out your credentials, you're committing the fallacy of appeal to authority.

No, there were other options. Just because somebody dislikes Trump doesn't mean that they love Hillary. To think that is a false dichotomy. https://www.logicallyfallacious.com/tools/lp/Bo/LogicalFallacies/94/False-Dilemma

I hate Hillary and dislike Trump I voted for Johnson because I knew Hillary would win NY but my vote didn't matter. The reason I voted Johnson was because he smoked Jill Stien like a Philly Blunt in a debate he would have done the same if he debated Trump and Hillary but they won't allow anyone else to debate we are stuck with Democraps and Republicunts.

Guess I have to spell it out to you, Tampee. Don't worry, cops usually aren't the smartest of the bunch.

The OP documents the elusive debate strategies of the typical Trump cultist. Sorry, this thread is not about winning but only losing because when Americans have such poor debate and critical thinking skills, we all Americans lose. Like some one recently posted, debating a moron is like playing chess with a pigeon. It shits all over the board and declares victory.

Don't forget the strutting around the board and knocking the pieces over part.

The world certainly needs saving. I'm not sure I'll be much help, though. With Trump in the mixmaster's seat in this hip hop white house, I'm afraid the world's coming down so you might as well crash with me [enter guitar riff].

We did this to ourselves. There is no hope.
