We all had discussions or discussions and at times could not find the right words. And, of course, after the "fight" is over, exactly the right things to say begin to come to your mind.
Let's take politics as an example. Almost no political response is spontaneous. Consultants spend millions trying to figure out the right things to do. And if you study the debates and verbal tactics of political candidates, you may find some lessons to "make" your verbal opponent. Here are 5 examples.
1. Negligent Counter
The trick here is to emotionally push, but with humor.
An example would be Donald Trump, who very effectively marginalized Jeb Bush by repeatedly calling him "low energy." When Bush came out in full force in one of the discussions, Trump was able to knock him off his feet by simply saying, "Oh, you have more energy today - I like that."
2. Cultural reference
It's about using references to cultural events in response to a rhetorical hole dug by your opponent. Here you can easily get under oncoming fire, but if you do it right, you will be in a great position.
3. Silence
Sometimes the facts are on your side to the point where you can score points just by walking out of the discussion.
Perhaps the best example is when Vice President Al Gore walked across the stage and kind of "fell into the space" of Republican nominee George W. Bush. Bush interrupted his speech for a fraction of a second to nod in Gore's direction, as if noting how strange it was that Gore had approached. He didn't even have to say anything, but he made it very clear.
4. Obvious and incredible
Another way to manage the obvious truth is to say it in a manner that is so clear and obvious that there is simply nothing to answer.
Example: In 1988, Dan Quayle was running for vice president, and in a debate with Democratic nominee Senator Lloyd Bentsen, Quayle opined that he had as much experience as John F. 1960.
Bentsen's response greatly reinforced Quayle's opinion: "Senator, I served with Jack Kennedy. I knew Jack Kennedy. Jack Kennedy was my friend. Senator, you are not Jack Kennedy."
5. Beat the enemy with his own weapon
Similarly, you can take your opponent's verbatim phrases and use them to turn them against him.
The most classic example was when Reagan was re-elected at the age of 73. When this was mentioned in the discussion, he did not understand the question, but answered like a genius: “I will not make age a subject of controversy in this campaign. I am not going to use my opponent’s youth for political purposes and his inexperience," Reagan said.
How effective was it? He defeated his opponent, Walter Mondale, while laughing.
As grandfather Lenin said, if I am not mistaken: "To know the enemy by sight, one must read his literature." I propose to follow this testament of Ilyich and, to the best of my ability and ability, remake [modern] songs and poems of Nazis of all stripes and nationalities - from Caucasian to Western European. But over the past 20 years, world capital has nurtured not a single such variegated reptile, educating it to consider itself superior and better than all other people and, first of all, greeted it with Russophobic and anti-Soviet instincts.
Believe me, among their modern songs there are quite high-quality copies, suitable in meaning and content for "assimilation" similarly to their predecessors.
Thus, I propose to start the Russification of the enemy's songs with this copy:
Generally vott
this song. Agree, she sounds great. But, alas, it is not ours, but against us.
So, here is my version of this, I hope now ours, song:
Grandfather Sturmführer
(It was)
In 1945, my grandfather hid it here.
Chorus:
My grandfather was an SS Sturmführer
My grandfather was an SS Sturmführer
My grandfather was an SS Sturmführer
Grandfather Sturmführer, SS Sturmführer
In distant Russia, he put things in order.
Not a single commissioner ran away from him -
Grandfather did not know pity for the Bolsheviks.
Old grandfather's uniform look.
The skull on the cap will shine stronger -
Soon the whites will chase all the pigs.
The grandson will also be an SS Sturmführer
The grandson will also be an SS Sturmführer
Grandson of the Sturmführer, SS Sturmführer
Grandfather Chekist
(became)
Somehow I found a chest in the attic -
AT [ninety-third] grandfather [put] it here.
It's full of stuff from the good old days
On top, the grandfather's uniform is on it.
Chorus:
my grandfather was [Soviet Chekist],
my grandfather was [Soviet Chekist],
my grandfather was [Soviet Chekist],
Grandfather [Chekist, Soviet Chekist]!
Grandpa served in the tank division,
AT [Nazi Europe] brought order.
Not a single [fascist] ran away from him -
[Grandfather] did not know pity for [the Nazis].
May it invigorate me today and always
Old uniform [grandfather's] look.
[Star] on the cap will shine stronger -
Soon [the communists] will drive all the pigs.
Grandson will also [Soviet Chekist],
Grandson will also [Soviet Chekist],
Grandson will also [Soviet Chekist],
Grandson [Chekist, Soviet Chekist]!
I highlighted in red what I replaced. Do not judge strictly: this song is much more primitive in its meaning and content of the same "Horst Wessel", and therefore [Russification] does not particularly shine with syllable and text.
P.S.: It would be great if people like it (or those) who can (can) sing this song "Grandfather Chekist" in the same style as its originals. Next in line is the text of a cool song from the game Red Alert - Soviet Infernal March !!!
