        Handling gish gallops is easy for anyone ready to field them.

        You pick the easiest thing they spat out to dismantle, explain that they’re gish galloping so you’ll only address the thing you chose due to time constraints.

        You let them give you the meatball to knock out of the park and point out their shit rhetorical devices. Then it’s obvious the next time they do it, and you do it again. Then they’re naked.

        If you want to see someone that does a master class in Gish Gallop, watch Kellyanne Conway. I’m not sure if she surpasses the person Gish Gallop is named for, and possible dementia donnie himself, but it is an amazing spew of bullshit. Watching her “debate” someone is sure to enrage any normal person, because it is so obvious what she is doing, and I have yet to see anyone call her on her bullshit.

          Duane Gish was a creationist. He sucked balls like Ken Ham and Kent Hovind.

            Oh yes, that much I knew. I don’t think I’ve seen him in action, though. I do know that KAC and dementia donnie constantly do it and it’s so annoying because no one ever shuts them down.

            When the reality is, everyone, everywhere, should shut this down as the toxic behavior it really is.
