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

Did you think Ted Cruz being the Zodiac Killer was funny?

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

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.
