Deflating a claim has never stopped a right-winger to keep using the argument.

They rely on "random made up story that supports their beliefs" over anything factual anyways. Maybe throw Jesus into it for extra points

And are usually shocked when policies based on those stories don't produce the results promised, blame the guy who did the implementation wrong to vote in another guy to try the same ideas again.

Nothing stops right wingers, including the words “no” and “stop”. With right wingers, the only boundaries are theirs. Be careful, their boundaries are super delicate though!
