What do you do if they claim to be on the right? Or if they claim that they're not political at all, they're just stating facts? (Genuinely asking!)

- hume_annoyed 5y agoAsk them about what they know they don't know and you might get a chance to understand their understanding. Different conclusions should come from differing, random selections of life experiences. Calling a conservative a conservative would not have the same effect as with an avowed liberal, but on that point, if you can find out and point out what more commonly liberal beliefs they hold, you might chide them enough to think outside the (non-)party lines.
- ThrowawayR2 5y agoFor the right, conservatism is their schtick so there's no criticism to be made. One can (and should) disagree with their beliefs but the contents of the box is exactly what the label says it is, so to speak. It's the new left who claim to be on the side of liberals but whose continue to espouse illiberal beliefs that need to be called out as to what they are.
