Oh, I know that, and you know that. The other guy might know that too, I’ve found, if you point out that the U.S. military, that they may’ve served in, is a centrally-planned government-run socialized institution. In this particular case, yes in fact the other guy served.
Or if you point out that government spending is a full third of the U.S. economy without which the other thirds collapse. That's all around convincing, though, rather than defending, which you’ve done admirably well.
Hang around long enough, watching people talk and word get around, you hear things. Like that teeming majorities of people whatever their political stripe or color share some key exceedingly common views. Not the McCarthyism and Bushism that years on /r/politics/new might lead you to believe. Instead, you notice, vast numbers of people know they’re being used by what we laughingly call leadership and that there’s precious little to be done about it as things are.
A challenge we all have is finding any kind of unity given the Punch and Judy show of our politics, and the wounded pride of our shared long defeat. You two are a microcosm.
