Melting Down, Heads exploding,,, How the Far Right Avoids Conversation

If you have spent any time posting on political sites, you have seen someone crowing that another is a "snowflake", "melting down", etc.

It seems that rather than refute an argument, the far right like to declare the other person "unhinged". It's a cheap shot that no serious person should be proud of.

Here's an example.
Today's Breitbart.



Establishment Right-Wingers in Meltdown over Marion Le Pen Invite to CPAC

Several members of the U.S. media establishment — including so-called conservatives — have been in meltdown on social media after it was announced that French firebrand Marion Maréchal-Le Pen would be speaking at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) this week.

Meltdown?
Well, let's see what they say. Just a warning, it's some pretty crazy ranting.


Senior editor of National Review Jonah Goldberg  accused Ms. Le Pen of being a “statist”.
,,,,,,
,,,,,,,,,,,,,
The “Reagan Battalion” Twitter account, labelled Ms. Le Pen a “French National Socialist” saying she “supports tax hikes” like far-left Democrats Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren.
There is NOTHING Conservative about her.


Stop, stop! I simply cannot handle this insane ranting! 

Come on, Alt-right. Argue the issues and stop hiding behind throw away terms like Snowflake and meltdown.

We live in a time in which decent and otherwise sensible people are surrendering too easily to the hectoring of morons or extremists.

When you got nothing else, throw around insults and bumper sticker slogans and hope the under-informed get worked up and vote.

I get the feeling, when I'm on a conservative discussion board and someone tells me to go to my safe space,,,, he's really telling me to shut up and get out of his,,,,,
