I debated 20 far-far-far-right conservatives (racists? fascists?) on Jubilee's 'Surrounded.'
Here are some of the highlights of them unable to answer my basic questions or rebut the simplest of points. Not sure whether to laugh or cry.

It’s the narcissist’s playbook.
1. Do something bad/stupid
2. Blame someone else (“They (or you) did this/made me do this!”)
3. Loudly claim (usually falsely) to have fixed the problem
4. Take credit for 3 (but never blame for 1) and say “Look what I did for you! You should be grateful!”

If opportunities can be stripped from journalists simply because enough people repeat the same bad-faith narrative, how can anyone withstand the career impact of doing work that matters?
