uspol, "debate"
I already know the answer to this, but... how the hell did we end up with an entire generation of Republicans that thinks "I'm rubber, you're glue" is a valid debate tactic and you can disprove a valid accusation just by telling the accuser they did it too, no matter what it is or how much you have to stretch the definition?
I really don't think the answer is
"not enough education," though. I think the answer is "because it consistently works, and who gives a fuck if it gets you any closer to the truth or not!?"

@Leucrotta I think that's 100% part of it, yeah. Seemed to be the MO of the anti-furry trolls, who stil astound me how much the resembled today's TERFs and MAGAs in their willingness to weaponize bad faith.
