    A random Twitter user made up some bullshit and then everyone thought it was funny and obsessively repeated it. I don’t find it funny or helpful myself, though

      But you’re doing it wrong. You have to make juvenile, belittling jokes for your tribe while decrying the belittling, juvenile jokes made by the other tribe.

        Good forbid anyone might have a bit of a laugh at the expense of the person who literally wants to get elected in order to opress them.

        Some people do not deserve respect. Especially pompous wannabe tyrants.

          It’s still not different though, only the perceived righteousness is.

            You should have heard what people were saying about Hitler during WW2. They even wrote songs about his testicles. Outrageous disrespect.

        Yes. Because it was absurd and not at all believable. I never had to Google it to see if it was true or based on truth.

          That’s just because the world was less crazy back then. Normally you’d know this was a joke but reality has been so absurd

            The world might seem more absurd now, but it is absolutely more believable that he made some awkward remark about couches once that came out weird. So I looked it up and no, just some idiot lying flat out. That’s why it really annoys me people won’t rise an inch above Republicans on this. I mean honestly it barely would be funny if he literally did allude to fucking a couch.

              Lol what? I knew immediately he didn’t fuck a couch, and would need proof to believe it. Have better internet hygiene ffs. That’s on you.

                  Lol you’re literally the one being judgemental here about people joking and because you personally didn’t immediately pick up it was a joke, then everyone else who is joking is wrong. I think you’re the douche here

                    Nice job intuiting my inner feelings. What I said was that I don’t find the joke helpful. We are supposed to be better than Republicans. They are the ones who typically make shit up.

                    But sure you were totally justified essentially calling me an idiot unable to Google even though that’s literally what I did to even be able to comment what I did.
