1. It's really frustrating to me that more people don't understand that racist/alt-right people have gamified their rhetoric; they're not interested in discussion, they're slapping down cards from a "Debate: The Gathering" stack, and the only goal is taking heads.

4. I don't have time anymore to diddle about with children who think other people's lives are some sort of turn-based game, especially when all they want is to hurt other people. And it bothers me more people, especially those with power, don't understand this shit.

5. I'm not going to tell people not to engage with these chuckleheads. But don't engage with them on their terms. Engage with them on your own. One, they hate that, and two, it exposes what they're doing as a pointless, hateful exercise, and them as awful people.

6. In sum: Understand what these folks are doing. Refuse to play along. And if you choose, point out to others the hollowness of their game. Because their "game" is to hurt other people, and then go on to the next target. Their game is other people's lives. (/end)

The only way to successfully engage them at this game is to pick the board up and beat them over the head with it. (Which, on twitter, means getting their sorry ass banned, which is easier said than done given how Nazi-friendly twitter is, as an institution.)

True, however this is only those in powerful/influential positions. Trump supporters,( with all due respect), aren't that smart.
