    Ok I agree with the sentiment but I hate the “observe this meme in which your side is portrayed as the ugly one and mine is portrayed as calm and collected”. it looks like the type of stuff id see on facebook

      To us, this is just a passing meme

      To them, this is debate. They actually get upset over this kind of thing, it makes them feel like they’re losing

      In a way, I guess I agree; it’s not the wittiest analysis of the argument. Everyone SHOULD have topics they get angry about. What matters is which ones. Getting angry about feeding children is a sadly truthful analysis of conservatives right now.

      Could lead to a funny comic where they compare reasons each was angry about the last NY mayoral election they lost.

        This isn’t even it to me. Its the constitution, the law, and just not cheating. If they are willing to not only play by the rules but respect them as they are literally are country, then its fine they have and push for their opinions. The system when actually applied should get us something at least functional. America literally is the constitution and if you break it you are the unamerican.

      The only thing inaccurate here is that repubs aren’t calling Mamdani a socialist- they’re calling him a communist.

      But they are objectively angry and crazy. And hate-filled. And Nazis and their enablers.

      If they are throwing baby tantrums over everything, they shouldn’t be surprised if they get laughed at, because we’ve tried working with them for long enough, and see what it got us. Better let them see that their shit is making them look unhinged and ridiculous.
