I only go on Facebook to bully MAGAs, and I can say in my experience shame and disgust are the most effective weapons I've found. Call them stupid, call them racist, call them cultists, and they just double down. Call them disgusting, pathetic, revolting, and their tone changes, if they respond at all.

They have canned responses for substantive criticism. Their brains short circuit when you call them filthy degenerates. Bonus points if you hit them in the religion or patriotism. Jesus was a leftist and you can quote Scripture for days. The founding fathers wrote quite a lot against authoritarianism.

Shame and disgust are the winning play. It's the only language their tribalistic lizard brains understand.
