Reasonable questions asked to the unreasonable in front of an audience.
Many unreasonable people don't seem so bad because they control the topics, the agendas, the narratives. You can't beat them at their own game or by bringing facts to a feelings fight. But if you ask them "normal quotations" they will reveal themselves quickly. But they will feel better (maybe) they will have lost some credibility with one side of the audience and gained with the other (that's good) and you come out handling the situation.
Oversimplified example
"I'm offended by that!"
Reasonable question - what is the feeling like?
"Offended, uncomfortable etc"
Reasonable question - how often do you have these feelings?
"all the time"
- All the time?
Then start to mirror
