I questionable friend hit me the other day with, "The world is FLAT!" I promptly disagreed with him and gave the example of "When I stand on the west coast of Fl. I can see the sun set but I can't see Mexico or Texas so there must be a curve to the earth, I can't even see them with a telescope.

He isn't buying that as an explanation, so what do you all say, there must be one person here that can make the case of flat earthers, no?

No it's not a debate. It is an interesting exercise I enjoy hearing the ways the Earth can be proven to be round without having to take a mission into space. I never thought of those things I just never thought it was flat.

The whole “debate” was a Russian bot trolling exercise. It’s perfect for separating the idiots from the rest of the world.

Actually I have read the claim that 66% of Flat Earthers are millennials who are very religious.

I assume you got your reference of climate change and flat earthers, and thereby extending to what you think conservatives believe, from Obama...
"President Obama blasted climate change skeptics during his energy policy speech at Georgetown University, saying he lacked "patience for anyone who denies that this problem is real. We don't have time for a meeting of the flat-Earth society,"

Where do you see a reference to conservatives in what the President said?

Commonly assumed that "right leaning" means conservatives and that is what I was referencing.
