Right-wingers, here is the way to assure that interesting conversation around you gradually dwindles until it finally ceases to exist (at least to the extent that it involves YOU!)
When you don't like somebody's point of view, or disagree with it in some way, start trumpeting that you simply cannot understand what they are getting at, that they are not making any more intelligible sense than an ape mooning a rainbow, and that Reality is standing by your side, assuring you of all sorts of discrepancies in what the other person has to say.
Utter, with absolute complacency: "I do not get it."
If the person who is talking to you happens to be female, you can delineate her actual experiences for her, in a way that demonstrates your eagle's eye view on Reality itself.
You know weren't actually there when she experienced whatever it is she did, but you can act as if you were in fact there, step by step, throughout her life, as she underwent every single experience. Your view of reality trumps hers, because her experiences deviate too far from The Script (the one you read so long ago, that says how Reality itself deigns to act).
So tell her that you do not get it. And, for extra measure, tell her what it was she actually experienced.
And, very soon ... so very soon ... she will have nothing at all to say to you.
Which is to say, you will have WON!
