congratulations: you’ve found a crumb of smugness amongst the wreckage of our present lives.

Thank you. Without crumbs I'd starve.

I'm not sure when we moved beyond being able to make fun of reactionaries for creating problems for themselves, Wily Coyote style, but I'm not sure we should've left.

    We absolutely should continue to mock and ridicule everything these fascist fucks do. I don't know what that guy is smoking but mockery and ridicule are one of the most effective rhetorical tactics when it comes to the chronically reality deprived.

    I think some people see it as "making light" of the topic, and sure, it's important to not let it distract from reality. But we can walk and chew discordant gum at the same time.

    Yeah, they don't really mind being seen as evil or cruel, they relish it and brag about it. They are, of course, evil and cruel, but they're also ignorant and shortsighted. If you can't laugh at them sawing off the branch they're sitting on, while jerking off about how butthurt the libs will be that they totally owned that tree, I just don't know what to tell you.
