From the title, I thought you might be discussing techniques on how best to attach a reefer to a treble hook . . .
Trump won in 2016. Democrats haven't been so offended since Republicans came along and freed their slaves.

Just stand far enough back that you don't get any brains on you when their heads explode.

6" ought to do it, maybe.  :lol:

6" may be minimum range for head 'splosion protection.  But I think the minimum safe range for patchouli oil and greasy dreadlocks is at least 21'.

I don't think there is much chance of that happening  ;)

I just call on em to define the catchphrases and develop the logic.  My favorite of late being 'fair share.'

Then just walk them through some grade school level civics and economics.

You need definitions?
 
 "Fair Share"- all of what you got are belong to me.
  "Capitalist Pig"- anybody who got more than me.
  "Equal opportunity"- I get my stuff first.

  Etc- scratch a liberal and you will usually find a greedy envious class-warfare advocate.

I try to do my part to 'reveal' folks as being unfit for polite society.  It doesn't take much.  I've constantly been amazed at how folks will walk on egg shells to keep a guest from insulting the host.  I say go ahead and 'bait' em, better to let them make a scene and get the boot than put up with them time and time again.

Just bait them by going full-bore paleo-conservative/fascist on them.

Espouse regressive tax rates that are higher for the poor. (Because they consume more .gov services)

Promote the idea of loss of parental rights for various "social undesirables" like say... vegans, and that their children should be raised in special boarding schools, where the .mil has first pick of the graduates.

I've never tried it just on issues of the Left/Right spectrum, but on the rare occasions I find myself in rare conversational debate with an anti-gunner, I just throw stuff with an effusive sense of cheerfulness out there like "Well, the occasional dead child, and mass shooting is worth my rights." It usually leaves them silent, with nothing else to say.  :laugh:
I promise not to duck.

I was thinking tofu with a #48 Newhouse in a flat set until I read your post.

I love doing stuff like this.


Told my liberal side of the family, who wanted to put up Clinton on Mt. Rushmore, that they should dynamite Lincoln off instead and put up Reagan. It caused an...interesting reaction...

It's fun to point a DU'er and a FREEP'er (different ends of the spectrum, same sort of idiocy) at one another, stand back and watch the show.
