What's that old saying... "You can't reason with somebody who is in a position they didn't reason themselves into". They're not willing to change their minds or have a real discussion, the goalposts will just be moved time and time again when their hateful ideas are challenged.

rationally reasoning with bigots rarely leads to bigots abandoning their bigotry; oftentimes it leads to them latching onto something else as an excuse or rationalization for their bigotry, doubling down out of spite, or outright violence
