In the end, I don’t disagree with the idea of making fun of someone in power, only the language used to do it. Diversifying and sharpening the average person’s lexicon, or creating/repurposing words, would yield the same benefit without the detriment. Obviously the latter is simpler than the former so it’s my pick. I was a fan of that trend circa ~2012. Affluenza still gets a giggle out of me.

I'm not contesting any of the logic of your position, but I'm just not there at the moment. If you can take the high road while people are dying, I think that's perfectly admirable. It's just not me.

I just can’t see how commenting on the physical characteristics of an individual helps to reduce their power and, therefore, body count. It’s part of what I like about the “weird” dig at trump. Reframing a personality with petty insults>Smol hand fatty
