I think I'm just gonna start responding to anyone who goes after a person for voting Dem with "why do you hate immigrants and LGBTQ+ people?" Make them come up with some kind of answer while they accuse us of doing "mental gymnastics" to vote for Kamala Harris.
Granted, it's kind of stupid, but I'm not sure what else can be said to someone lacking that much self-awareness.
I would caution against coming at it so strongly; I think it’s possible to be firm and call out the privilege and the reality of the situation firmly but with civility. Let them be the unreasonable one, it will kill the energy behind their message.
The problem I see with that is there really doesn't seem to be a point in bothering with things like civility. The people who say shit like that aren't concerned with anything other than being intentionally obnoxious. A quick jab back to remind any reader that this is what is at stake here and then going into an explanation of "this is how absurd these people are" seems quite effective to me in the short attention span online space.
