The only thing I won’t debate is the 2020 election. The moment people call it into question explicitly say “Trump lost and I am not debating this.” I treat it like they’re saying the Earth is flat. If you try to appeal to any source of real information or argument, you have immediately made their stance something worth considering. It needs to be100% unequivocally dismissed without thought
We don’t need to prove anything, the burden of proof is on them. And they have failed to provide even a modicum of evidence after all these years.
