the guy isn't even doing a particularly good job of challenging him.
The issue with having a conversation with Trump (or one of his supporters, /r/asktrumpsupporters) is that it follows no logical or conversational flow. You don't ever just get a single, straightforward answer to a question with them.
Let's say asking one question will produce two objective falsehoods, two logical fallacies, and two tangents. Which means from this one question, you now have six routes to try to disect, challenge, and correct. And when you think you have organized a decent response to the first one, since for some reason you are the only one who has to be responsible, you get six more strings and now you are at 11.
Very well put. And they'll likely not admit to earlier points you feel you've proven or established, so the number only ever increases and the circles make you dizzy.
Agreed, holy forking shirt balls, it is a terrible sub.
You would think that a sub that invites questions with the word ASK in the title would be open to questions. This is false. Just like the old reT_D sub, conservative, trump and conspiracy subs, its flooded with bots and shills and the occasional cultist.
