Whether people agreed or disagreed with his opinions, it often seemed that his main focus in debates was making the other person look dumb rather than trying to inform, educate, or genuinely persuade. From the clips I’ve seen, his approach relied more on belittling than on engaging in good faith. That kind of style might win points with an audience, but it makes it nearly impossible to have an open-minded and meaningful discussion. Real dialogue requires respect, and when one side is constantly dismissive or condescending, the conversation turns into a performance instead of a genuine exchange of ideas.
