It depends. What I've seen of conservatives trying to debate in leftist circles is typically presenting blatantly obvious misinformation as an "opinion" and then going shocked pikachu when they get banned for misinformation/debating in bad faith. The tone between the two sides is typically vastly different: conservatives tend to argue in a very assertive and authoritative tone whereas liberals tend to be nuanced.

It's been ten years since I've last had a good faith discussion with someone across the isle and it's not me. Part of that is those who i used to discuss have somewhat distanced themselves from that ideology after 2016, but every topic otherwise devolves into some insane talking point devout of reality. You can't debate someone who will no agree on simple facts.
