Use reasoned argument, it's not so clear cut, people don't feel the need to join with and support "the bigot". It's non polarising, it avoids creating division.
At the moment, most of the dems are falling for it every time

The argument is actually over when a bigot defends their views with bigotry, not once they’re called a bigot.
I’d imagine the bigot would then kick up a fuss which is probably why you’ve said what you’ve said cos the discussion will turn to squabbles. But na, they lose when they bring outdated views to the present day.
