The problem is they don't often argue in good faith. Usually deflection and gish-gallop are their MO. So be concise and be mindful of the bystander audience.

Oh, for sure. I never argue to change their minds, just to shut down whatever narrative they're trying to spin for the bystander audience. I'll usually play along with the gish-galloping as long as time allows but usually stop when they transition into sealioning.
