Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks agoThis is actually a hilariously amazing idea. Put all the young progressive upper commers on the roster and the old gaurd will probably assume they will crash and burn, when in reality these shit talking heads never are challenged.

Nah, that’s not how it will play out. These people have a very refined way of handling real time debates with things like Gish Gallops. Or say something so brazenly stupid that your opponent doesn’t know how to handle it (O’Reilly’s “the tides come out, you can’t explain that” comes to mind). It takes a very good debater to get around that while still caring that truth is a thing that exists, and it’s usually not worth the effort.
