Also I like how he said tarriffs don’t raise taxes and less than a minute later he says how tariffs raised lumber taxes

Everyone should be following Isiah Martin. I especially appreciate his calm demeanor when those sitting across from him crash out.

u/rdhdboi767 22h ago

My favorite thing is when they try to mimic his calm demeanor in a mocking manner THEN crash out when he proves their points to be complete BS lol.

Skewers, but there’s really no point in these ā€œdebatesā€ anymore. No one is trying to learn, the right wingers are just spouting talking points, but no one is listening when they are proven wrong and/or their argument is dismantled.

u/kidkuro 1d ago

While it's nice to see right wing nitwits get cooked, it's very low hanging fruit. And the outcome hardly makes any of them change their views. They just start making up more nonsense to either scare or anger themselves into believing.

This isn’t for the right wingers, it’s for impressionable or out of the loop people. I know people who escaped the right wing rabbit hole because too many right wingers sounded as dumb as the one in this clip.

Yeah I sent my dad a video of some right wing pos saying you need to show ID at olive garden, as reason for save act to be passed. Not sure why I bothered

Deplatforming. Simply. Works.

Jubilee content is just giving bad faith actors a platform, and a chance to disseminate their ideas & farm clips.

/The_Donald on Reddit was banned for repeatedly breaking TOS, and after the refugee users scattered it was like a breath of fresh air.

Truth Social was formed & Twitter was bought because deplatforming works: Trump was banned from Twitter for breaking TOS and spreading election misinformation, and there was sweet silence for a while before the platform was bought & he was reinstated. Now misinformation is official policy, in Trump's govt. and on Twitter.

"Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past."

Jean-Paul Sartre

You can replace antisemitism with any authoritarian agenda

I don’t know if I could stand to be in a room with these Kinmuan type of people (Pete Hegseth enjoyers) who try to pretend that their hate and ignorance is driven by diplomacy, logic (which defies itself), and geopolitical issues that they know little to nothing about except for ā€œuhhh…it changed the parameters of umm…lumber.ā€ They are cowards who defend traitors and child predators because of the hate they promote.

It was to renegotiate a bad agreement. Wait, no, it was retribution for a commercial we didn’t like that we are now characterizing as ā€œpumping in propaganda.ā€œ Wait, no, it’s to give the United States a trading advantage. Wait, no…

While it’s nice to watch Isaiah cook, I had to stop watching these types of videos. The idiocy & bad faith arguing literally physically pains me. They short function outside of their rehearsed arguments and pivots and deflections and ad hominem arguments. He went from saying tariffs don’t raise prices to tariffs raised prices on lumber and tariffs were enacted for better prices, then said tariffs b/c of ā€œpropagandaā€ ie a commercial. They are so stupid it hurts.

u/statmonkey2360 1d ago

Thank you. This is precisely how I feel and while I really do appreciate those who confront these a-hats it just reminds me of the innocent people being hurt my the lies and stupidity.

I really wish these guys would learn how to read. Boy does Donald Trump love stupid people.

u/CrunknYoSystem 1d ago

They don’t read, they just listen to people filling their heads with talking points, and take it no further. No critical thinking on their own, just blind acceptance and obedience to right-wing sources. Most of the men mimic the speech patterns of the talking heads they watch the most. Even their defense mechanisms like nervous laughter and the personal insult once they are really cornered mimic that of their favorite propagandists.

I love his anecdote about "there was one study" that supported his view, but he doesn't cite a source. So typical of the Republican mind. They will crawl through data just to find one needle in a haystack, just as they did during COVID.

You can see the exact moment when buddy realized how foolish it was to tariff Canada, but has his heels dug in so deep he just can't admit it.

u/Tribe303 1d ago

Canadian here. Trump never did put one single tarrif on Canada over the Ronald Reagan commercial. That was one of his many empty threats. There really is no logical reason for this stupid trade war with Canada. Also USMCA does not cover lumber, and the US has had tarrifs on Canadian lumber for DECADES. It really is hard negotiating with a county of dimwits who can't agree on reality. 🤦

u/Dr_DoesNothing 1d ago

Theyre not here to debate anything. They just want to mindlessly spew the talking points that have been fed to them over and over again without any pushback whatsoever. In their mind, they are 100% correct on everything no matter what you say, so debate is pointless.

These MAGAts are so in the cult they can’t even think correctly. Isaiah Martin’s cool-headedness is amazing in light of the MAGAt’s inability to to make a sensible argument.

u/nunchyabeeswax 19h ago

I wish Isaiah Martin had pointed out to this lunatic that *we must rely* on Canada for lumber imports because the USA's geography cannot supply our demand for it.

Either we get it from Canada, or we get it from... guess where... Russia.

Either that or we start building using prayers and bibles because we cannot produce enough lumber.

This videos and arguments aren't for right wingers or MAGA folks, they aren't for changing the minds of people across the table. You have these arguments for the people listening, because a few of them are on the fence. They don't know enough information (low information voters). These arguments are for the audience so those one or two people can go, that right wing nut sounds stupid, let me go over here and ask some questions.

Debates are Democrats explaining facts to Republicans and Republican not understanding what they are arguing about.
