5. Repukes have a talking point about that.
I was having a conversation with a repuke the other day and he was denying waterboarding is torture. I told him we hung Japanese torturers for waterboarding our soldiers during WW2.

He came back instantly that they weren't hanged for waterboarding, that they were prosecuted for far worse things than that like bamboo under the fingernails, electrocution, etc.

Of course he's wrong about waterboarding but my point is they've already come up with a response for it which means they know it's true and manufactured a talking point to feed the sheep.
