Your comment is exactly why they say this type of thing and why it always works for them: they spit out a curt catchphrase/gotcha/“just asking questions” and to even begin to address the absurdity of it you need a bulleted list of all the ways it’s wrong. By then, even the non-red pilled person has moved on and lost interest before reading a rebuttal, but they remember the original talking point. It’s worked far too well for far too long.
It’s an aggressive mix of the gish gallop and motte and bailey fallacies.
They won’t even own their own viewpoints once you’ve gone through the effort of pulling apart the claim and addressing it. They’ll tell you that you’re reading too deep into it, misinterpreting it, all while putting out more nonsense for you to address.
There’s nothing you can do with the average person not being invested enough in politics to inquire further, and the lack of controls on public speakers. Except stoop to their level I suppose.
