- giraffe_lady 2y agoWe're way past the point of policy disagreements the relevant question right now is how do you stop them. It's certainly not by reimagining your adversary's actions in the most charitable light.
- mrguyorama 2y agoExploiting the need to invent a "logical" reason to do something illogical is the exact attack vector that the Gish Gallop uses to fuck over people. Like you get that right? This administration does not discuss or debate, it shits out lies and laughs as people play make believe high school debate games, and give them infinitely more effort than they did. There is no such thing as "effectively arguing" against a Gish Gallop, that's it's entire purpose.
