I see lots of people in here talking about different topics but I think something that would be really useful is how to successfully win a debate with a liberal. Although it is hard to do so as they are quick to call you a fascist, racist, bigot, or something else of that nature; I would like to hear what type of strategies you all use to not only win arguments or debates but to try to make them realize how twisted liberalism is.

What is your definition of winning? Is it being obviously right, or convincing them of your opinion? Just asking as clarification so I may answer your question. Sincerely, Luc Henry

I would like to be correct and be able to also convince them to at least look at an unbiased source of information

Don't we all! I understand the struggle of arguments. I believe this sort of ignorance isn't just limited to Liberals, but all humans in general. For example, suppose someone walked up to you and showed you an unbiased study which found that there are in fact 72 genders or whatever, would you believe them? I know I wouldn't. As you can see, we as humans tend to hate change, and cherish our beloved opinions. The best way to break through this barrier of ignorance is to actually build a relationship with the person. As John Maxwell once put it, "People don't care how much you know, until they know how much you care." You see, we tend to arrogantly avoid the opinions of people who don't know us, don't understand, don't care and don't listen to us. To answer your question, I believe the best way to debate with a Liberal is the method stated above. But what if you don't have time for that? Well sir, here is where it gets hard. Sometimes you just be able to pick your battles. Many people respect the quiet man, for he speaks only when needed. As for the times when someone ge nuinely wants to debate for the purpose of furthering their understanding, I say go for it brother. Be civil, be understanding, provide facts and cite your sources. Most of all, listen to what they have to say, even if you disagree. You have two ears and one mouth for a reason. Try to remain calm, and carefully review your grammar/spelling (when it is online.) Don't be afraid to tell others who try to get involved that you would appreciate it if they would step back. The last point I want to make is that arguing rarely solves anything. But a civil conversation can lead to the greatest of understandings if it is sincere. Thanks for reading all of this. Sincerely, Luc Henry
