    The reason they do dumb shit like this is to distract from the evil shit they’re doing.

    The crazy part is it clearly still works from what people are commenting

      Believe it or not, a lot of us are able to be mad about more than one thing at a time. This one just happens to be both exceptionally stupid, exceptionally visible, and easy to resist without having to advocate for violence.

        You can, I can, lots of people can.

        But not everyone, and certainly not the media. They only have so much airtime, it’s a zero sum game. And so is attention on a personal level.

        What you’re doing is like being in a room and saying “none of us are stupid enough to vote trump. No one is that stupid”.

        While ignoring that obviously lots of people were dumb enough to vote for him.

        You (and lots of others) desperately need to realize that people think differently than you do. Because not realizing that hasn’t been working out well for us as a society
