Leave the amateur arguments and hypotheticals for drunk political science majors with these simple tricks to overcoming any difference of opinions.
1. Don’t make your point, disprove theirs
We call it the The Donald: disprove the credibility of the other person’s argument or statement and no one will care that you having nothing of substance to say.
2. Question the facts
When facts are introduced, question the sources of these facts. Humans like to bullshit, and when you call them out on it, they’ll crumble faster than a tourist eating edibles.
3. Tap into the emotions
Emotions trump logic in all situations. Once you detect anger in an argument, keep poking and prodding while asking if they’re getting angry. Nothing pisses someone off more than getting told to not get angry when they’re angry.
Game Over.
4. Think before you speak
Our lawyers once told us that when you’re on the stand, you can always take a minute before you speak, but you can’t take back what you’ve already said. If in doubt, take that precious 60 seconds to think beforehand.
