I think it's less about insulting them, and more a out no longer treating them with the utmost respect. We (and by we I don't just mean lefties) should have called them weird when they called themselves the the tea party, but we handled absolutely insane rhetoric by trying to meet it from a place of thoughtful and respectful academic discussion. It was always the wrong strategy.

That said it could very easily backfire. Going to far would look really childish. I think weird really hits home with how most reasonable people feel about these guys.

You have some impressive storytelling skill. Have you considered writing a book?

SURELY the DNC will listen if they don't vote, don't run, and don't donate, but post a genocide Joe meme from their phone also made available by genocide while wearing clothes manufactured by a genocidal state on land acquired from an ethnic cleansing. That's the morally upstanding thing to do.

I'm a chemist and I really like when my friends bring me their science questions because I get to stretch my knowledge, show off a bit, and have a conversation. I'd be a little offended if I learned they googled and watched a crash course.

Saaaaaame. When she played in my city I only liked Photo ID so I skipped her show, but now I have that, Sugar, Cinderella, Anthony Kedis, and Hello Hello Hello on HEAVY rotation.

Anyone who is afraid of bears has absolutely no experience in the wild. It might do you some good to actually get that experience in the wild. A hike is much better for your brain than writing a post about how outraged you are that someone "made a ridiculous exercise meant to rile people up"

If your reaction to "Men can be threatening to women." Is "Wow all men are murderers I guess we can't talk to them anymore thanks feminism." You're probably a little too emotional for internet access.
