It's probably not a good idea to laugh at people until you've at least heard their arguments.

I think Wikipedia's Trivialism page already contains a comprehensive list of its supporting arguments.

Here is the abstract for the dissertation linked on Wikipedia. It argues that it is impossible to reject trivialism, as there are no alternatives to trivialism. It furthermore argues that common refutations of trivialism are incorrect for various reasons.

I'm not sure any of that refutes what you just said.

The paper is offered freely on the page.
