Thomas Nguyen: Snowflakes! 👏 — Subium • Bluesky web client

This is why I’ve been writing for years that “nothing in movement conservatism makes sense except in the light of creationism.” It’s the exact same tactics, just repurposed for other causes. I share the frustration.

It is enormously frustrating to know, as an evolutionary biologist with experience from the trenches of the creationist wars on science, that nobody on Biden’s team nor CNN’s seem to be aware of the Gish Gallop, 30y after Eugenie Scott described it and years of Trump deploying it!

Gish gallop - Wikipediaen.wikipedia.org

I've done a bit of public speaking, and it seems to me that the Gish gallop is incredibly difficult to deal with. You have to mentally tear yourself out of the discussion to say 'You're full of it.' But yes, Biden seemed unprepared for it.

This is why we need more peoplewith terrible personalities in politics. I have zero problem doing this, because I have no charisma and don't care what people think of me as a person. Put me up there and I'll make Trump stroke out within half an hour.

It's like that Kendrick/Drake tweet that was going around a bit ago "find your opponent's weak point and maintain message discipline" Which in Trump's case would be calling him a traitorous, broke loser. Over. And over. And over.

Yes! He's just a fuckin common abuser bully. I eat men like that for lunch.

They NEED you to either stay civil and nice or completely lose your shit and start screaming. If you mock them like a playground bully and get real personal they can't take it. Trump is obsessed with being respected. So disrespect him. He's a sad old loser felon who fails at everything and stinks.

He walks out and you just hold your nose. "Drop a load in your drawers there, Stinky?" Totally derailed. Totally. He'd spend a half hour on how he did not shit his pants

YES! Like "did you just fart?" Puerile and childish wins with these creeps every time. I wish Hillary Clinton had done that when he was walking around behind her on stage in 2016

Lest anybody think I'm just talking out of my ass here, we used to get those dickhead mobs of antivaxxers showing up at Sprouts and Starbucks around here until some friends and I decided to show up in masks and tell them they were dumb and ugly and their moms didn't love them and made a bunch of

them break down so bad they couldn't make it on camera to spread their lies. It only took a couple of times and they never came back. One of the ringleaders moved out of state. Another one disappeared and then showed up again with huge new boobs and tats but it was too late for their momentum

Snowflakes! 👏

They can't take it. One person goes, "don't you know who I am?" I looked her up and down and said, "I see a sad middle aged plain woman trying desperately to feel like her life has meaning" and she started crying and wandered off. Someone else came and blew on me (it was 2020, before the vaccine)

and I shrieked and yelled, "Holy shit, do you ever brush those nasty yellow teeth of yours? You fucking pig" and she ran over to a cop and cried to him that I was mean to her 😂

And then he came over to me and I said thank you officer, I'm exercising my free speech rights. He sort of wandered off after that too

Btw I was in a plague doctor costume this whole time, for visualization purposes

Anyhoo most of those people are dead now :))))))))))

from third degree burns

xD Okay, you're my hero for the day, just take your trophy and go...

❤️

I love the very similar "Do you know who I am?" I keep a canned response just for those: "Why, did you forget? Oh, did your mommy forget to pin your name to your jacket AGAIN?"

Exactly, most of those people are cowards who are used to never getting their asses beat for running their mouths

It was this crowd btw. She was one of them
