Little Glennie -
Sorry for the sloppy linking... I DO think it works with all of us when
we are being petulant/belligerent in our willful beliefs. I have
already shifted my confrontational mode (looming, lowering my voice,
narrowing my eyes) with Trumpsters and trying variations of the Trevor
Noah formula for toddlers... it yields surprisingly good results...
I had a boss for a while who another colleague characterized as being of
the type who "when you tell him you didn't understand something he said,
he just repeats himself, only louder"... I nearly threw him down a
stairwell once... but my kinder/gentler nature prevailed... I only wish
I had Trevor Noah's advice in my head at that time, but I suspect Trevor
was (literally) a toddler himself at that time!
I'm not sure this is pure Socratic, but does carry it's form... it is a
bit passive aggressive and/or manipulative to deserve such an idealized
term, don't you think?
Carry On!

That link didn't work for me. But here's another one:

I know that strategy works because people use it on me all the time! 8^) I think those
dastardly elites call it "Socratic".

It sounds almost like it could reduce to Trevor Noah's recent show on how to
handle Trump in the way you must with a Toddler?
