So much of what Conservatives do on the internet is exactly this type of posturing.
They posture their way through arguments because they're incapable of debating anything along factual lines.
Almost every Conservative argument devolves to unverifiable, personal anecdotes. Every single Conservative on these boards is guilty of that...take the Russia Tax Cut, for example. Conservatives on this board see the data and evidence coming in that shows most workers didn't come out ahead and got smaller refunds or had to pay, and when confronted with that, they slip into anecdote territory and say thatr they saw a benefit. But really, who believes them? These are the same people so stupid, they were conned by Trump.
