I don’t really understand why there’s a content warning for this. It’s a typical Trump tweet

shrug-outta-hecks so people who don't want to see typical trump language don't expand the image. other linked truthy-image, for example, doesn't degrade anyone aside from being bad businessman

I think shying away from even reading something like this is pretty self defeating

eh, it will be washed away with time (probably days, considering trump), it's not declaration of war or some crazy shit you have to know about.

plus 12 keystrokes is not exactly high effort both to put in and to ignore. it's giving a warning to make a choice, very silly choice of expanding an image to read it, but one people make tens of times a day on social media.

What Is To Be Done (cw: subject matter) lol

Hitler’s words deserve censorship; Lenin’s words don’t.

I appreciate OP’s respect for readers who would prefer not to be surprised with more unsolicited hate speech than bourgeois media already subjects them to. There is nothing newsworthy about the contents of Trump’s screed other than his typical libel and bigotry. Nobody is any braver, smarter, or more politically enlightened for having sifted through each new pile of dogshit he tweets.

(Cw: disagreement) There’s no censorship being talked about here. I think what you’re saying is generally reasonable, but my point is just that this specific example leans so far into it that it becomes a farce, is all
