    Another great angle that's similar in tone is to tell them to take responsibility.

    The more conservative someone is in their politics, the more they buy into the narrative about personal responsibility. But if you look critically at their arguments, they will often argue that things "just happened" or that they had to respond in a certain way.

    The other thing is when they ignore or deny the existence of something, such as the concentration camps at the border. They'll euphemise them and you can argue that they are literal concentration camps by their very definition.

    Whatever the case, going in on them from the angle of a lack of personal responsibility always stings.
