“This book will not teach you how
to debate with bigots. There is no reason to debate bigots because we have already heard everything that bigots, regardless of their
stripe, have to say for themselves, across time. We heard everything the Nazis had to say for themselves during the Nuremberg trials. We heard everything the segregationists had to say for themselves during the civil rights movement. We heard everything the homophobes had to say for themselves during the outbreak of HIV and the debates over same-sex marriage. Bigots remix the same claims, “We are superior, and they are inferior,” repeatedly, from era to era.”
