Presumably the same way as you have a reasonable discussion with someone whose standard of evidence is an unheard-of dating website that claims to be a UN member which is being conspired against by the UN, and who thinks anyone who finds this fishy is an evil Nazi rape supporter.

That was my general reaction too, followed by wondering if I should start backing away slowly - this was an actual situation I got an unexpected view of yesterday as a result of a whole bunch of Clinton supporters latching onto some dubious claims and refusing to let go, no-one on that side being willing to challenge it, and their claims spilling over slightly into the HN comments. This election is pretty well post-truth.
