So when Trump says, “Oh, it’s you. You’re really stupid and fake news. But go ahead and ask your stupid question,” and they respond with, “Thank you Mr, President…” Just no. Don’t thank someone for humiliating and insulting you. They just need to stop showing up for him. Let him talk to his maga reporters/echo chamber.

I’m a 5th grade teacher. I spend so much time teaching work ethic, kindness, respect, and civil discourse. Every time I hear him speak, I think of my students, current and former. He is so incredibly rude to everyone who doesn’t bend the knee. It’s unbelievable, and I think we are underestimating the effect this has on our kids. Whether we want him to be or not, he is setting an example for our kids. No matter what those kids or family members say or think of him, the fact remains. We have taught our kids that you can be so incredibly vile and still rise to the top.

People try to justify not caring about this by saying that his personality doesn’t matter and has nothing to do with his politics and leadership. This is someone whose words and actions can literally start a war. Of course it matters.

Our kids have been through a lot. Due to internet and social media, they face challenges and influences that are beyond our comprehension. We need to do better at electing and elevating leaders who are the type of adults we want our kids to be.

Libs finally getting the SNL treatment.

The right is tough and can take verbal abuse. The left breaks down and whines

Ok. Got it. Verbal abuse should be the national dialogue. This is how Americans are now. We’re abusive, cussing trailer trash. Look out world, here we come.

But also, they can dish it but not take it. Biden doddering out something insulting them, they are livid, foaming at the mouth, blind with rafe. But a racist story about Haitians eating pets? Hiring a comic to tell racist jokes at Trump's MSG rally? Sorry, you cannot tell me MAGAs are tough.

Obama ate a dog. What's wrong with it and why is it racist?

Because it was fake, they KNEW it was a fake story, and they went with it deliberately to lean into a 'dark skinned bad people gonna steal and eat your personal pets.' sentiment to rile up their voters. Trump knowingly peddled this fake, unverified story on an internationally televised debate to tap into racism and paranoia towards dark skinned immigrants. And for the record, one can easily make an argument about the importance of removing criminals in our country without vetting, without this. But he had to go there and did so knowingly.

And for the record, two of my best friends are Haitian so yes I am sensitive to this particular one. It is where I anecdotally observe that MAGAs overlook his racist speech because they have few good friends who are actually Black (at least the MAGAs I know, which is quite a few, tend not to have anything beyond acquaintance relationship with anyone who is Black).

I would think minorities would be flattered to be like Obama.

MAGA can’t even take being called “weird”.

Wanting discourse to be adult and respectful isn’t the same thing as whining. You’re framing it that way because you want so badly to feel powerful and libs to feel owned, when in fact they’re either laughing at your childishness or just shrugging and walking away.

Lib positions are always "owned" when the MSM media isn't slanting, deleting, editing or cutting off the right. Trump gets the owning out too quick to be roadblocked. It's awesome!

So you’re saying “MSM” is replaced. With exactly what?
