I’m semi convinced everyone clowning on Trump with nicknames is what makes him unstoppable. Call him orange, call his makeup gross, call him poopy pants. He can kill your fucking family with impugnity now. He essentially always could. He does not, and never truly did care about what his enemies on the internet think, we’re not threats or even really real to him. His audacity totally eclipsed yours. We only made ourselves feel better with Orange Man Bad. It was pissing me off from the beginning. Everyone thinks its funny Hitler had Jewish blood and one nut now, but we get to laugh about that with the benefit of hindsight. The here and now should be about taking everything deadly fucking seriously. Pithy nicknames were his strongsuit, not ours. Wanna talk semiotics and the “weird” attack vector? Okay, but that one was the first one that stuck in years and it was a criticism levied at the total of the GOP, not just Trump.
I can think of no more perfect summary of the average Lemming’s slacktivism than the fact that this comment has 4 upvotes while the one below it, which reads simply “fuck drumpf”, has 16
Agreed. There was someone on reddit who made a model of trumps head out of hore shit (an admittedly good sculpture) and everyone was acting as if it was some big “gotcha”
