Stop debating Republicans. You're not going to talk them out of fascism, racism, or transphobia. The only person that can change them is themselves. You have no agency in that. They are immune to facts, statistics, and debunkings.
Instead, close down ideological space for fascism. Isolate them.
It'll always be their choice to be a fascist or not. You can't change that with your debate skills and logic.
It's up to us to decide the CONSEQUENCES they feel for that choice. And then it is up to them whether they want to stay on the path of isolation and destruction— or if they want to step away.
