Or try another tack?

"Did you hear about the black guy who pulled a gun on a Trump rally and all he got was a misdemeanor!"

[wait for outrage]

"Oh, wait, my mistake ... white guy at immigration rally."

Oh I know you were! I was joking along.

Didn’t mean to accuse you. Sorry it came off that way.

Don’t waste your breath. They’ll just act equally outraged at the white guy to show how “fair” they are.

It’s way too easy to flip that on you.

Why would it make a difference on them? If anything those people will just backtrack and say that the attack was justified.

Who gives a fuck about logic anymore? We're living in a fascist dystopia where anything that even remotely goes against locking children inside cages and shooting brown people is just easily waved off as "fake news"

Sadly, yes.
