Most of the time it isn't worth getting into a protracted argument with a leftist, but there are people in the political center who are persuaded by far left talking points and arguments.
Sometimes people on the right are genuinely stumped by academic leftist insults and insinuations; it's like being cursed at in a foreign language.
The purpose of this thread is to pool our resources and come up with short, devastating rebuttals that don't require much effort to use, as well as to create new, bold assertions that move us from defence to attack.
Secondary purpose: take down Shitlibs by making their methods of argument seem obvious and mechanical, the way Chris Christie devastated Rubio by showing up his reliance on memorised bullshit.

I'll start with what I call the Freudian Sneer.
Lib: You don't like illegal immigration? You're a racist. You're a racist because a Mexican must've shoved you when you were a child or something.
Notice the leaps of insinuation. First they attribute you feelings you don't have, then they attribute feelings to those feelings, getting more petty and childish all the way down. They conjure up a life story full of you being beta. Mock them on that. Call them out as daydreamers.
Lib: You don't like illegal immigration? You're a racist. You're a racist because a Mexican must've shoved you when you were a child or something.
You: What is this, a Russian novel? // Are you writing a book about me? // Is that what the gossip rags say?
Lib: You don't want gay marriage? You must be a homophobe. You're a homophobe because you're secretly gay.
You: You wish. // You can dream. // Sure thing Dr. Freud. Tell your mother I said hi. // I'll be coming out of the closet as a liberal soon, but first I'm voting for Trump.

Trumpisms:
Lib: Black Lives Matter!
Trump: All lives matter.
Lib: Will I get paid the same as a man?
Trump: You'll get as good as pay if you do as good a job.
Practically every Trump policy is a new, bold assertion that puts the left on the defensive.
"We're going to build a wall, and Mexico will pay for it!"
He is the master, we are the humble apprentices.
