It teaches them the thought stopping cliches and mantras that they can use to “own” libs in drive by Facebook comments.

I think about the classic creationist “if we came from monkeys, why are there still monkeys?” It’s not intended to be an actual question - you can try to explain that no, we didn’t “come from monkeys,” that we shared a common ancestor, etc… but they don’t care. It’s just supposed to be a quick catch phrase that lets you not think about the question anymore.

That’s the whole point of all of these right wing “debaters.”
