[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not even remotely liberal and I get OP. These rubes who compulsively repeat Fox News talking points and make negative comments about every demographic except older white males are annoying as hell. You can't talk to them about politics because they have their own facts and will use tactics like deflection when cornered. The easiest method is to not play their game.

They are interested in politics because they have no life. You can try making sarcastic remarks  like, "You don't  get out much, do you?" Or if he makes a comment about you watching BBC, say something like, "Sorry, Bob, All in the Family isnt on right now." You don't want to brawl with most of these idiots because they have memorized so much material. It is best to counter punch and get out. You want it to hurt. You need to be somewhat consistent so that he knows not to take things too far. [/quote]

Yes.  Tell them they’re a rube getting screwed by Murdoch, Koch, Adelson, Mercer, etc.
You can’t talk to them about politics - that’s exactly right.  If you say anything make it about the GOP scamming them.

Another sarcastic response: “There’s only two kinds of conservatives: billionaires, and suckers.”[/quote]
