Im trying to show the lemmings in their left wing bubble how the real world works and how the working people think.

I'm totally on your side, but I like to offer arguments I hear every day from working class people who are vehemently right wing Trump super capitalist/authoritarians

If they are "vehemently right wing Trump super capitalist/authoritarians" then they aren't going to listen and, as I said, you achieve nothing but antagonism.

"I totally agree with you but I'm going to pop your bubble and remind you that people who disagree with you to the extreme offer ignorant talking points and won't agree with you. I totally agree with your answers to but those people don't."

It sounds like you are trying to demoralize the left while pretending to be an ally. What are you hoping to accomplish?
