That’s when I would interrupt the person with, “stop, you’ve made your claims, now it is my turn to talk and address each point you made.” And if they refuse to stop, I go with this: “Since you refuse to let me speak, this conversation is over.” And I walk away.
They also don’t like it when I start taking notes on their key points and start calling them out on contradictions.
No. Having a debate requires both parties to actually listen to each other’s arguments/talking points. When one party refuses to listen, it is no longer a debate. By constantly interrupting, they demonstrate they were never there to have a debate/conversation, but were only there to preach.

Oh no, it was never a debate. It was a game, and he only did it to shut people up.
