鈥淵our an idiot.鈥�
It鈥檚 an insult you see expostulated in online comment sections quite regularly.
And I darned near end up ROTFL every time I see it. The irony is absolutely delicious, especially since the insult is usually unfairly leveled at an insultee who has made a salient point that a holier-than-thou insulter just doesn鈥檛 happen to like.
For those who aren鈥檛 conversant with social media abbreviations ROTFL is 鈥渞olling on the floor laughing.鈥�
Social media comments rarely offer significant insights into either the topic at hand or an individual sharing the deep thought that consumed them this week 鈥� not intentionally, anyway.
But sometimes understanding lies near the surface beneath a comment. I found one self-righteous (alternative) truthsayer who established his intellectual credentials by declaring that he was a 鈥渞oads scholar.鈥� I believed him. It was the only comment he offered that wasn鈥檛 total nonsense.
Trump vs anti-Trump social media battles provide wry entertainment at its best.
Click on any major media post about The Donald鈥檚 latest gaffe, failure, or ridiculous assertion. Then kick back and enjoy the show, as hundreds share their barely intelligible intuitive understanding of the new Trump reality with others who were less fortunate than they when the brains were handed out. Each unique perspective is repeatedly repeated by insightful commentators who didn鈥檛 bother to read anything beyond鈥� well, actually, anything.
The same cascade can be initiated by posting something positive about the so-called president. Ignorance has become a politically neutral virtue in the good ol鈥� US of A.
Or, hey! Are you tired of the Trumpsters and SAD snowflakes going at it tooth and nail south of the border? Trudeau vs anti-Trudeau is just as frustratingly fun.
The twits are greener on both sides of the fence.
I just noticed something. Trump and Trudeau both start with Tru鈥� just like Truth.
