    Is it just me or does anyone else have to fight the urge to be horribly misogynistic to these Trump worshippers? I always fall back to my gender-neutral profanity (such as “Trump’s shit-guzzler”) but I just feel a deep rooted desire to be as maximally offensive to and about MAGA cultists and enablers as humanly possible. I know it’s lazy but I mean if anyone deserves to be insulted in the most extreme way possible it’s these creatures.

      They’re literal traitors to the United States of America that are attempting to dismantle its government, causing unimaginable suffering.

      They deserve a lot more than being called mean names.

      Don’t let them bring you down to their level. There’s so many fun gender neutral insults.

      • Middle School Drop Out
      • Failed Abortion
      • Incest Experiment
      • Good Idea Fairy
      • Shit Fucker

      • Two Balls Short of a Spine
      • A family tree with no branches
      • Couldn’t fight/talk their way out of a wet cardboard box

      I mean really, there’s just so many.

      If you must give up your values then you might as well give them up in exchange for something in return. In this case you get nothing in return which is why I too recommend using gender-neutral insults.

      That doesn’t sound too strange. Sometimes I want to use “f****t” as an insult, but I don’t, because that would be homophobic and I’m not homophobic

        I accidentally used cock sucker as an insult but I meant it in the billionaire-cock sucker, not the way it used to be used. There’s nothing wrong with sucking dicks, but if you suck the dicks of billionaires then you’re a problem. Still I recognize how it could have been taken and felt badly.

      You’re not going to be able to put them in their place better than they do for themselves already. Save the effort IMO.

      Although, that being said… I have no issues with any kinda of verbal antagonism towards fascists. If a woman is a nazi, and we’re all saying it’s ok to punch nazis; is it ok to punch a nazi woman? I say yes.

      They want you to lower yourself to their level. Wrestling pigs just gets you muddy. Please call them out though, it is important work.

        Taking the high road has really been working out for us!
        Might have our faces in the dirt but we can feel good about being the better person!

          Sure, but being sexist or misogynistic doesn’t actually help us. Getting dirty and stooping low in political ways though, to save the country from an authoritarian nazi regime? Yes, please.
