"I happen to know that's not true". If they respond "yes, it is true", then I say "prove it right now or shut up".

Although I may not have proof at hand that what they say is a lie, I do have around 99% probability of being correct because of the overall Republican track record of spreading hundreds of false conspiracy theories. Every winger I've know the past several years has a head brimming over with this bullshit and they repeat it like a parrot.

Another good line is "sorry, I don't participate in spreading random gossip. In my world, that's immoral". Most often however, I just refuse to engage with them because that's what they want, it achieves nothing and it's not worth the interruption of my day. Life is just too short for this old man to waste it on random Republicans in public.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
