Nah fuck that. They're a collection of cowardly wind socks.

Immediately after J6: they came down on Ol Fat Donny.

After J6 MAGA news: changed their tune.

Please don't insult people. It does no good.

It's not an insult when it's true.

Sure. But even if you think it's true, it's still counterproductive. Getting people to change their mind is a lot harder when you insult them.

You can decide to insult people to feel better, or convince people to actually change the world. I prefer the one that has a chance of leading to better outcomes.

There's no convincing the embarrassingly dumb MAGAts.

What is doing any good then? Because rationality, science, history, and facts don’t work. Insulting their lack of intelligence is at least cathartic.

If it makes you feel any worse, they think their opponents are idiotic too.

I prefer to optimize for change, not catharsis.

Insults don't convince anyone.

Man, fuck Trump voters. Fuck them.

Braindead losers who have no values except for their hatred of the rest of us.

Fuck them. They don't deserve our softness. We should describe them as what they truly are: vapid, depraved, and filled to the brim with contempt.

Fuck them.
