Anyone ever encounter this bullshit?

Some obviously fake and photo shopped photo of someone in the democratic party doing something heinous.

Your gentle response is something like: The photo that you posted is photo shopped. It has been proven to be a fake by several reputable sites. Look at the hand and arm. Notice that the clothing of the arm does not match the body. Also notice that the lighting is not correct, and the shadows do not match up. Here are several links that prove that the photo is fake.

Their response: Shut up libtard. Even if the photo is fake, it COULD be true because that is how you snowflakes operate.

This is what taught me to never, ever argue with a right-winger. You'll go insane if you do. I just mock them now, it's the only way to handle them. If you do it right, they don't even realize they are being mocked and belittled. Just make up some bullshit about how linear regression is hurting the bees. Shuts 'em right up. I try to do this in real life...I used to do it online, but I don't have the energy anymore. I don't even bother.

dismisses facts even when proof is given. My experience with right wingers is that they always fall back on emotions and what they wish to believe. I avoid those arguments as much as possible.
