Are you threatening me?

He would feel threatened if a creepy woman TSA agent did this to him too. It's much more rare, but it's a better argument for these kinds of people. I've seen this response countless times. Banned from r/conservative for "threatening" users lol.
Think of them like children (his debate skills are <6th grader, so he literally is). You have to be gentle.
- creepy woman TSA agent
  No need to even be creepy. If this is a white dude, just have a black agent do the same. I bet he'll be so fucking freaked out that he'll call the cops right then.
- Not everything is a debate. The dude is just an asshole.
  
  Actually if you're a Democrat you have to act perfectly all the time. This guy's a Republican so it's totally fine to be a child.

  They're not like children, they're just narcissists.
  It's the attitude of: "If I do something bad to you, you should be flattered. But don't you dare do that to me!"
  
  It could be, or it could be 6th grade debate and communication skills. But we're allowed to be angry and not act perfectly.
- Nah, hit his homophobic ass with the theoretical hyper-masculine leather daddy hitting on him
  
  Satisfying to argue but doesn't work either on these 6th grade debate ability folks. You make a 7th grade argument, not an adult one if you want to help him.
- his debate skills are <6th grader, so he literally is
  Now that's a logical fallacy.
  
  Literally is now just an intensifier in most contexts. We’ve lost the war
  
  He literally might as well be in his capacity to debate and process emotions, which is his only relevant skills here. But the other way was shorter to write.
  
  What i meant was, bad at debating = dumb, that's not how it works.
  
  I think what I meant is, are there any important differences between him and a 12 year old in this context?
