So the approach is: When running straight into the wall doesn't work (i.e. ignoring the issues and simply calling everyone "stupid", "racist", etc.), we must try harder (we must fight them)! Okaaaayyyy...

"Never interfere with your enemy when he is making a mistake", a maxim attributed to Napoleon, works well for what I'll label as the Alt-Right here, defining us as those who's response to being called racist is "We Don't Care" instead of automatic surrender.

John Stewart even made fun of this particular attack 6 years ago (http://www.cc.com/video-clips/m0pvy5/the-daily-show-with-jon...), and our principle easily extends to all the other accusations the Left thinks are still effective in their "fight".
