In it, I was creating a list of Trump public lies just in the last week alone (at the time) and one of them was something very close to this:
2) Falsely claimed that children are being kidnapped by their school and given gender-reassignment surgery against their will, and that this has been going on for at least 15 years.
and this person of course was like "Baloney, Trump never said that!"
So then I provided both a video link that showed the quote I referred to, and a transcript from it, and another transcript of him saying basically the same thing another time. Here are the quotes:
“The transgender thing is incredible. Think of it. Your kid goes to school and comes home a few days later with an operation. The school decides what’s going to happen with your child. Fifteen years later, your child comes to you and says, ‘Mom, Dad, who did this to me? Why did this happen to me?’ And you have no idea.”
Can you imagine you’re a parent and your son leaves the house and you say, ‘Jimmy, I love you so much, go have a good day in school,’ and your son comes back with a brutal operation? Can you even imagine this? What the hell is wrong with our country?
This person then seriously came back at me like
LOL he didn't say kids were being forced by the school, OR kidnapped, see I knew you were the liar That was one of the last times I had a actual back and forth with a wingnut online, because for like 10 years now I usually just say my piece and then ignore them when they reply with their (inevitably) stupid shit. This was one of the few times I actually gave one of them another chance, and confirmed it was still true that there is LITERALLY no point in talking to ANY of the cultists about anything related to IQ47. They WILL NOT have an intellectually honest debate with someone they know to be liberal or Dem, EVER.
