Despite your plethora of deeply hypocritical accusations, I’m going to cut this down to the central tenet

Who are you accusing?

What are you accusing them of?

Why do you think they’re being dishonest?

Next time you say something, remember to be confident it makes sense, or you’ll have to go through your politician’s poor-faith smugly-avoiding-the-question-manual all over again when someone asks you to—shock of all preposterously unhinged shocks—actually explain yourself when you make a controversial claim

So, having nothing to say in response [1], you fall back on badgering again. That isn't going to work any better than it did before, except to reinforce the impression you have already made.

[1] Except for a presumably unintended but rather accurate self-portrait.

one day you’ll have to deal with a person like you, and you’ll remember this and have to sit down and ask yourself some difficult questions
Here, I have met a person who immediately attacks with a personal allegation ("what I’m reading here is “you’re wrong and lying or lied to because of an ‘agenda’” and that’s it"), does so in bad faith ("I included the “lied to” because I knew you would try and sneak out of it like this"), and who repeatedly resorts to badgering me with questions. If this sort of behavior was directed towards someone unprepared for it, it would count as bullying, and I have no difficult questions arising from my responses.
