A form of debate far inferior to policy debate, though it IS a form of debate, unlike congress. It's like policy debate but less fast and there's less shit you can run.

1. An argument that starts somewhat constructive but devolves into a
dramatic display of emotional bravado.
2. An argument where no real practical difference is available at the ideological level,
so the crux of the "debate" lies solely on
how much or how little said agreed ideal needs to be applied as the percieved "disagreement".
3. An argument where there isn't any real constructive debate happening,
but rather a battle of egos, pride, and vanity.
4. An argument where attacking your opponent's character, past, family,
or friends as well as name calling or claims of not caring
take precedence over a practical view of the real issues at hand.
5. A euphemism for ranting about, disliking, or even hating something
whilst simultaneously lacking any constructive criticism.

"Mom and Dad were having a Republican Debate about proper directions on the
road trip so I knew I wasn't going to be able to sleep on the way."
"We tried talking to address our relationship problems but it just ended up
escalating into a Republican Debate every time"
"The irony was that they agreed overall but would get heated about
the particulars quite like a Republican Debate."
"He said he loved the USA more than me. I disagreed and told him I loved the USA more than him.
It was a good ol' Republican Debate."
"I argued the subtle beauty of IPAs while she preferred dark stouts
and this seemingly simple mutual love of beer yet disagreement about flavors
could quickly turn into a heated Republican Debate".
"I tried to be rational about my disapproval of her boyfriend's behavior but
ended up escalating into a Republican Debate over it."

Andy: God, he makes me so mad! It's like he's missing the point on purpose!

Hym "Honey, on either side of the trans-debate you have the expectation (at some point) that parents are going to have to cede their parental authority to the state. If you conflate NOT giving a child gender-affirming care with ABUSE, you run the risk of conservative parents having their kids (potentially) taken away from them under the auspices of 'protecting kids from abuse.' And if you conflate gender-affirming care with abuse you run the risk of WOKE PARENTS having THEIR kids taken away from them under the auspices of 'protecting kids from abuse!' Nobody has to lose their kids. All we need to do is a little 'compartmentalization.' But the trans-debate isn't JUST about the kids. It also relates to your unwillingness to associate with people who don't affirm your values (and both of you do this) and your expectation for people to adhere to your religious morality (which is paralleled by the lefts expectation for everyone to adhere to their gender theory). As far as the penal system is concerned, you can't say that the Nikita Dragun going to a mens prison for some disorderly conduct and Demi Minor going to a female prison for stabbing someone 27 times isn't a miscarriage of justice. Sports? Probably should have SEX based sports teams rather than GENDER. See that? All you have to do is cede the term 'gender' to the ideologues. It isn't a huge deal. Health risks? Doctors need to be held accountable for failing to adequately inform people of the risks."
