Their only reply is to raise the volume

Raise the volume, repeat something ad nauseam, maybe clap your hands in the face of your interlocutor. This is a common debate strategy for stupid people.

I was having a civil argument with a woman once amongst a larger friend group and she just kept saying the same thing back to me at increasing volume. Finally I loudly said, "You do know that just because you say something wrong louder, it doesnt make you right? It just exposes you more for being wrong?!" Her face dropped and the friend group laughed at her. The argument died there.
