Man a certain stretch of this network is in full tism mode today.
No guys, put down the guns, the second ammendment isn't going to work here. We need a more economically viable solution to y'all being "triggered" by what Trump had for lunch.

Bullets for all of you would be expensive.

@maiyannah Unless he starts a war or something major like that I don't really care about the Trump cult of celebrity or being outraged about some silly statement he might have made.
-
@bob They are addicted to the outrage over him. They need it. It gives them an enemy they feel is evil incarnate and thereby justifies every bad thing they themselves do.
-
@maiyannah also to some extent outrage is addictive. The compulsion to reply to the latest outrageous statement.
-
@maiyannah except that's what you just said. I should get back to coding...
-
@bob They need it, as I said. I want to say they can't help it but they can - they just choose not to because the catharsis "feels good".
Nothing is quite so vexatious as someone doing something egregious because they feel they are righteous.
-
@bob @maiyannah To some degree, it is sourced by the various advocacy groups. I had a tense e-mail conversation with a family member over a Las Vegas shooting victim that stood to greet the President. I said people should stop injecting their hypocritical political bullshit into other people's lives, and that this same family member would have been incensed had the shooting victim not stood for the former occupant of the White House. But I'm open about not liking any #Twin_Parties politician in almost 30 years. All D and R #pollies stink.
-
When I say this, it is because people are getting their outrage piped to them in daily messages from these groups and their sites.
