Guidelines for responding to a MAGAT.

[generalbetrayus]

[TheRickles]

1. Cockney English - "What a load of bollocks!"

(the Victorian one is brilliant, BTW).

[50 Shades Of Blue]

2. I just say, "I'm not talking about that with you."

I'm already on high blood pressure medication...

[CanonRay]

3. That's beautiful!

[MiHale]

4. Last encounter I had...I wish I was anywhere close to that elegant...

I burst out laughing, huge belly chuckles…and walked away.

[wnylib]

40. That's a good response, too. One of my preferred ones

since what they say is so often too ridiculous for words.

[GenThePerservering]

5. Baseball bat upside the head

Because I have no words.

[FoxNewsSucks]

44. I completely understand

This is my favorite refrigerator magnet

[Glaisne]

6. Or say,

"Better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to speak out and remove all doubt."
But then again you might just get a blank stare from most MAGATs from that retort.

[Hieronymus Phact]

7. Laugh In Their Face and Ridicule Them! -nt

[mwmisses4289]

8. Sorry, while those phrases and such are elegant and lovely,

there's too many words for most magats to even have a clue as to what you are saying. "F**cking idiot" and "That's a load of bollocks" is more their speed.

[niyad]

9. "codswallop", or, better yet, just walk away shaking one's head and laughing.

For the truly obnoxious ones, a hand on the shoulder, a look of deep concern, and, in a very sorrowful voice, the anxious question, "Does it hurt?" When the reply is, "does what hurt?", one replies, "does it hurt to be that fucking STUPID????"

[EnergizedLib]

10. I just choose block and mute options

[niyad]

15. In person?

[erronis]

30. I've gotten pretty good at looking through the asshole and getting a bemused look on my face.

Like there's a minor aberration in the air - it will pass.

[niyad]

42. "I'm Looking Through You" by the Beatles started running through my head

when I read that.

[moonshinegnomie]

11. Tell them

“ I refuse to talk to pedophile supporters”

[niyad]

16. YES!!!

[Ford_Prefect]

12. Yea verily!!! Thou dost protest too much!

[DinahMoeHum]

13. "Methinks thou art a shithead"

Ladies, how could you forget Shakespearean English???

Otherwise, if they're young, I'll say "Draft Bait" or "Cannon Fodder Toddler"

[KPN]

14. I don't know. Ran these by my wife. She thinks "f*ing idiot" is the way to go ...

[liberalla]

36. ... and on a visceral level, it's so much more gratifying to say!

[littlemissmartypants]

17. Words matter. Humor is powerful. It's great to have choices. Be a uniter. Not a divider.

Thank you for the discussion, generalbetrayus. ❤️

[generalbetrayus]

23. You're welcome, littlemisssmartypants.

[Maj. Dude]

18. I prefer,

To say, I'll keep my opinion's to myself. But really thinking, F**ckin' Idiots.


I'm not sophisticated enough to use big words.

[azureblue]

19. Mine

Trump rapes young girls. Why do you defend that?

[modrepub]

20. Well, Bless Your Heart

If ya ain’t into swearing and in plumb dumb company.

[NNadir]

21. Simply delicious

[ColoringFool]

22. Or---Just Don't.

[11 Bravo]

24. Verily, thy head resideth in thine arse.

[mountain grammy]

25. Love this.. but I choose not to talk to them.

[Scalded Nun]

26. Small change to an old retort. 'I'd agree with you on all of this, but then we'd both be treasonous, racist assholes.'

[Fil1957]

27. They're not going to understand any of those guidelines. Maybe that's the point.

[generalbetrayus]

39. Baffle them with bullshit.

[Grokenstein]

28. My go-to: "You support that creep because you're an insecure child. And a creep."

"You saw the obnoxious cruel frat boy character in a comedy and decided that was what you wanted to be, just without the whole going-to-school part. One smirk from Daddy's Little Inheritor and you bent over and yelled 'thank you sir may I please have another'."

[mdbl]

29. I'll never be able to do it.

[BeneteauBum]

31. I like these responses

It would probably befuddle most MAGATs. My inquiry is ‘why do you support hate?’. If they deny, point out that the orange creature has stated that it considers us the enemy and hates us all. Do they support that statement Y/N? It’s amazing how many just walk away from the mirror.

Peace ☮️

[ms liberty]

32. When in doubt, always go with Victorian English.

I follow a guy who oes this on video.

[William Seger]

33. I've already had a use for that on a YouTube comment -- it was too perfect

Text version for copying:

"I speak now not in malice but in earnest despair, for the conclusion you have drawn is of such astonishing simplicity that it grieves me more than I can readily convey; and yet I'm moved less to anger than to sorrow, so profoundly indeed that I find myself unable to discern whether your words arose from haste, from a species of naivety, or from a mind altogether too content with its first and poorest notion."

[wnylib]

41. Or, for a short answer, "I'll pray for you," said with a look of deep concern.

[Buddyzbuddy]

34. Nah, ees a fawking idiot, govna

[Wonder Why]

35. How about "please email us when your brain catches up with your mouth" or

"I see your family tree did not survive evolution"

or

"Apparently, your ancestors couldn't come up with a pear[sic] so as to be qualified to avoid drowning when the Ark came by"

or

"The asteroid got all the intelligent relatives, I notice"

[Festivito]

37. I am fascinated how you moved to 2 new topics before the first one was less than half discussed.

If they think it's a compliment, it's probably not a good idea to explain it to them. Better to have a drink with the people who are quietly chuckling along side us.

[TBF]

38. Talarico English:

“You may pray for my death, but I still love you ... I love you more than you could ever hate me.”

Or the shorter Texan version: "Well, bless your heart"

[Martin68]

43. They stop listening after the 3rd word and start shouting incoherent insults t the top of their lungs.

Waste of breath.

[MW67]

45. Good stuff

But I fear the matter slipped those folks grasp and comprehension long ago, now we are all dealing with their foolishness
