It sort of works to put their audience on their back heel.
Intelligent people will spent the first half of their rant just grasping for their point. They think that makes them seem intelligent, because their opposition is frequently bewildered at where this gibberish is going. And then, depending on how confrontational their opposition is, they either just try to disengage because they realize it’s not worth the effort, or call them out, in which case they play victim, or change the subject to another incoherent rant.
I know a few people like that. Libertarian and/or conspiracy theorists. The common theme is a superiority complex because they “know” something you don’t.
And they rapid fire as many things as they can at once to overwhelm so that the opposition can’t pick one to debate Sothey can say “you support X and can’t disprove it because you haven’t specifcally said you don’t”.
