If you want to insult someone, don't say things you find offensive. Say things they find offensive.

I remember when I was a teen talking online with someone from Britain. I don’t remember why, but at one point, he called me a “wanker.”

I thought it was hilarious. He thought he was insulting me, but since I’d never seen nor heard that word used in real life before, it had no emotional meaning to me. Instead, I was tickled by how silly (and patently British) the word sounded.

Like when we called Conservatives weird and they had a literal meltdown?

yeah and when that was clearly working the Harris campaign just dropped it in favor of stupid shit like bragging about republicans endorsing her.

They had such a "literal meltdown" they took over all three branches of government.

Yeah, you really got under their skin.

How the country votes has nothing to do with actual conservatives melting down

Eh. He looks pretty happy to me, albeit a bit unhinged. My point was more that (moral high-ground not withstanding) the MAGAts appear to have gotten the last laugh this cycle, which his expression seemingly reflects.

I am super racist against Republicans.
