Dunk on them. Deploy rhetorical nukes. Use the power of material analysis to make their liberal idealism look silly. Treat it as a contest and come out on top. Win.
This is what I've taken to lately... If they're a religious conservative.
If they come from a less unhinged, though still clearly misguided, point or view, I play nicer.
I grew up in a conservative family, though, and went to a religious school. Which why I'm a Marxist atheist now. Which is also why I have no tolerance for religious conservatives and dunk on them relentlessly with their own Bible.
EDIT: I should add that I'm nicer to neighborhood liberals because I think they more often come from a standpoint of wanting what seems to be better for everyone than what we have now. Conservatives just want subjugation, so fuck them.
Win.
“Own the libs with facts and logic” but with real facts and logic instead of rhetorical flourishes and strawmanning.
