They are losing their fucking minds.
The absolute worst stains on humanity know how to spin awful things like this, on demand. Pick any half-plausible excuse out of a hat, then double down with logical fallacies and end on an emotional gut punch or challenge to the “other side’s” values. This obligates the other party to swat down all the fallacies and factual inconsistencies, letting you retaliate with even more trash. Yanno, arguing in bad faith 101. Bonus points if you never repeat an argument - consistency is for chumps.
