" For some reason , they did n’t want to talk political relation any longer . "
Whether it’s a conservative family member, coworker, or even an acquaintance who loves to debate politics, we’ve all endured a conversation with a Trump supporter. But no matter how much one might try to keep the conversation civil, there comes a point when the interaction needs to end before tempers fully flare. However, it can be difficult to think of the perfect response to put a stop to it…
That’s why when TikTok user@dylanschreibmanasked, “Tell me the most silencing thing you have said to a Trump supporter. I’m talking jaw-dropping, they couldn’t comeback type of statement,” people of all ages shared their best retorts to MAGA voters, and I, for one, am taking notes. Without further ado, here are 23 responses that left Trump supporters SPEECHLESS:
1.“I like to list Trump’s worst policies, but pretend they’re Harris or Biden policies. Then when a MAGA voter agrees the policies are awful, I tell them whose they truly are. They never know how to respond.”
2.“After arguing with a cisgender man over preferred pronouns, I reached behind him and said, ‘Excuse me, ma’am.'”
" When he set me , I say , ' Oh , so pronoun ARE important . ' He was out . "

I ’m still riding that high . "
