Yeah, the instinct to at least start as if the other person was approaching things in good faith is so strong. But such a great demonstration of the fact that asking someone to defend the indefensible isn't necessary -- the "find/jesus" tiktokker is not here to be persuadable.

Oh, I fully acknowledge the bad faith. I just want someone with such misaligned thinking to explain it to me, out loud. It's sort of a fixation of mine. "Please explain to me, in full sentences, how much of a racist and/or bigot you are. So everyone can hear."

Oh I so get that impulse too. If I had the time and was feeling like answering someone like that at all, I'm sure that's where I'd go. But that video confirms to me that "nope, not engaging your premise at all" looks pretty satisfying too.
