      That's how you persuade a Republican that Trump is bad--explain that he's a bad way to make the country great. Do you know how persuasion works? You understand what the person you're trying to persuade wants and then show them how to get it.

      What I understand about persuasion is that it mostly doesn't work

      For instance, you are trying to use this technique on me right now and miserably failing, because we can all tell that you are very clumsily trying to imitate someone who shares my values without actually understanding what they are

      I'm not trying to persuade you, I'm trying to persuade others who are reading the thread. People most likely not participating in the conversation because they're on the fence

      Replying to @PlzBeSensible @iridienne and

      Yeah, that's also the only reason I have these conversations, and the way to do that is to appeal to the values I actually share with them, by using someone like you as a negative example to hold in contempt and disgust

      The other part of this is to show people who do agree with you that they're not alone, I think.

      Every single expert on how elections work is fucking unanimous that the best way to organize to win an election is preaching to the choir Yelling at your enemies is *thousands* of times less effective than ginning up your base's emotion and enthusiasm

      Yeah - which is what so many faux debates are anyway: a way to make preaching to the choir exciting and interesting by having a foil to humiliate and pile on.

      Nobody's actually listening to the other side of the debate, they're just looking for clever put-downs, or for opportunities to mock them in the future. That's why the genre is usually on youtube as "So-and-so DESTROYS X"

      Yes... and that is very much not what SSC is about.

      It is, they just have absurdly hypocritical recursive justifications for it Scott "DESTROYS" and "EVISCERATES" people in a charitable, rational way for being uncharitable and irrational all the time and nobody bats an eye at the contradiction

          They're incredibly tribal and cultural Scott's famous post about "tribes" even ADMITS "Wow, this is just me using the Blue Tribe (the Left) as a punching bag and I should strive to rise above that" and people just cheered for the leftist hypocrisy being skewered
