Knowing nothing about this guy other than you calling him a libtard, I would go with Antonio here mostly. I would give the guy one chance, by showing him some of the countless news stories of people being arrested for saying naughty things online in the UK, just in case he is entirely blind to what is going on. And if (or, I'm willing to bet, when) when he tries to justify those (which I'm willing to bet he will) then drop it like a hot potato.

Note that this says nothing about the actual quality, only that they aren't quite as bad. There is still a lot of room to bring opinion of them down.
"oh sure, they don't leave quite as big a blood trail as say Hilary Clinton, but they're still pretty piss poor, did you see that awful thing where they..." and then show them the evidence.
I've agreed with their point because it's ultimately inconsequential and has an easy opening to get them to agree with my broader point.
