A lot depends on the attitude of the person in question, too. If they’re belligerent from the get-go, spouting Faux talking points and hurling insults, what’s the point? In order for it to work, they have to be willing to listen, too.
Even the non-belligerent Faux viewer can close off when their absolutes are questioned, even politely. I had this happen with some neighbors. And I was as respectful as could be.
So “talk to them” is not as simple as it sounds.

I think this will replace his "lock her up" mantra from the last elections. Totally irrelevant stuff of course, but his MAGA's will buy it.
"We caught them". Short, mud trowing, easy to memorize, you can shout it out.
I googled it - there are whole mockumentaries by the right wing media on it...

Those people surely are not what the founders of the internet had in mind.

I didn’t have to google for that. Whenever I poke my head into Twitter, odds are that some MAGAt will spam them into someone’s timeline that I follow.
They’re as vicious as they are ridiculous. I report them as targeted harassment.

Sometimes I puzzle what in the recent history went wrong. 10 years back people would have laughed at the village idiots instead of taking them serious.

Obamagate, I'm certain, is nothing more than a salacious attempt to claim Obama maliciously abused power for political gain by investigating Flynn. Pure distraction theater. Trump's handlers know it won't stick but they'll have something else juicy lined up to switch to, so they can pull a "Well maybe not in this case, but this is just one of many..." Condemnation through banal repetition of untruths.

With the way things are going a lone democrat will just say 'they caught it' explaining why there are no more donnyites.

Yep. What we have here is a huge, juicy nothing burger, served up by someone desperately clawing for anything that can possibly take his weight as he falls helplessly into the abyss.

Trump cannot fail. He can only be failed...by Obama.
He basically took a chance that a rare thing would not happen in his term. Forgetting that these things happen randomly.

Funny but:

Can someone please even explain to me what's going on now? I don't have enough moonshine in my veins to understand and value my eyesight way too much to deliberatly change that.

So FFS what are they even ranting about?

Oh... I had assumed the image was an intentionally obvious photoshop job, deliberately satirising the idea of Obamagate to create a pretty amusing image.

Does this mean it was a genuine fake, as it were, that someone wanted to pass off as an actual image of what he was wearing?

Forget the ranting and correct the moonshine situation would be your most productive solution here.

I don’t even know anymore.

Holy hell 2015: Does a Photograph Show Obama Wearing an Aleister Crowley T-Shirt? —- Nope
It says here it was an April Fool joke that the Gateway Pundit latched onto.

Meanwhile 1/3 of those protesters will likely end up in ICU three weeks from now. While I understand their reason for being pissed off, these assholes are going to the be reason we end up having a 1918-style second surge that's FAR WORSE than anything we can imagine now.
