I need a witty come back for "we can agree to disagree'.

Especially when I don't agree to leave it like that.

Thanks

I can agree youre wrong.

ive noticed that is a response by people during an argument when they have run out of argument before you have... which generally means they are wrong...

Usually said person is a "woke leftist"...

I usually try to get 3-4 more points out to prove they are full of shit.

"Well, bless your heart" works in the South

Also "Feel, Felt, Found" courtesy of the U.S. Army recruiting school:

I understand how you feel (or feel about ___)
I (or my wife, my brother in law, or "many people") felt the same way about ___
I/she/he/they found that ___

Its a way to counter an emotional objection with facts. You restate their position, validate their feelings, and then provide factual information that counters those feelings. If done wrong (maybe right) it is extremely condescending.

Example:
I understand why you support an AWB.
Many Americans felt the same way, and an AWB was signed into law under Bill Clinton.
Researchers found no conclusive evidence that the AWB reduced crime and the law was allowed to sunset.

"The fact that we are arguing already supports the notion that we agree that we disagree. You are attempting to trick me into conceding to something blatantly obvious that cannot be disputed so as to make it appear that the argument is a draw, when in fact you have lost and do not want to admit defeat."

I respectfully disagree.

Both of these are good. I really like @okie's response.
