You can't reason people out of positions they didn't reason themselves into. Pointing out that the literally opposite strategy by the GOP got us here and that it is not grounded in reality is not some "smarmy" attitude lol
I didn't say anything about reason, this is rhetoric we're talling about, and denying the reality that people don't like being talked down to isn't going to win friends or influence people.
