doublespeak, presupposition, framing, ad hominem
(point) "he is not good at explaining himself. I didn't think." (counterpoint)He is smart.
"clearly spending a lot of time in a world where he doesn't have to explain himself"
"he didn't sort of lay out his case...very coherently"
"he's very wounded"
"it is obvious he's very wounded"
"he expected the end of the Cold War"
"he is very upset"
Maybe they're too paranoid about it. Totally possible. Again, not taking sides,
"His eyes flashed when we talked about that"
"He didn't have a coherent theory"
"Whatever are Putin's many faults"
"to the extent he's angry and then it is obvious he's angry because he feels like, Whoa"
"I thought we were going to be friends?"
"he is willing to admit that he wants a Peace Deal...He said it a couple of different times. Maybe he is lying in ways I didn't perceive"
Framing the audience, ad hominem
"The truth is that's just false. It's stupid, actually, you have to be an idiot to think that."
"you'd have to be an idiot to think that'. It's just not true. There's no evidence of it."

"The goal of Tucker’s show isn’t to challenge the elite; it is to make sure that you never realize who they are. To get you so mad at atheists, feminists, immigrants, millennials, trans people, pot smokers, college students, vegans, the NFL, Brooklyn witches and Lena fucking Dunham, that you don’t get mad at the people who are actually in charge.” - Carlos Maza
[Carlos Maza is very liberal but doublespeak is doublespeak no matter which side]
