A lightweight news hub to help decentralize the fediverse load: mirror and discuss headlines here so the giant instance communities aren’t a single choke-point.

Rules:

  1. Recent news articles only (past 30 days)
  2. Title must match the headline or neutrally describe the content
  3. Avoid duplicates & spam (search before posting; batch minor updates).
  4. Be civil; no hate or personal attacks.
  5. No link shorteners
  6. No entire article in the post body

They went low and you went so high that nobody else can even see you anymore.

Of course this shit works. Trump won almost exclusively because his voters love that he's a dick to people. Having higher standards than his voters is a good thing but that doesn't change the fact that the argument you're making here is categorically false. This is exactly the kind of language that resonates with the average idiot in America.

Lol no. People have been calling Trump variations of orange man and making fun of his hands, how fat he is, and his shitty suit fit since before he was elected the first time. It clearly doesn't do Jack shit
