    Except that debate bros don't accept a well-reasoned and sourced argument

    They never have

    They like to project the image that they're all sensible and erudite, but the truth is that they just cultivate cults of personality and use that to project an image of correctness

      I don't know why, but the metaphors that liberals use like "coming from inside the house" which is a reference to a scary story, and they can't even get the line right, really bother me.

      "Adults in the room"

      "That's not how it works"

      "Understand the assignment"

      Etc.. it's all something a 14 year old would say to sound smart and sophisticated, but really it just makes them look like a fedora meme from 10 years ago

    Weird how they always get to decide what constitutes good faith and reliable sources.
