      “Is he team Red or team Green?”
      *Little did they know that beneath his outer attire lay his blue wizard robes.*
      “I mean he’s wearing boots, which is more than either of us have.”

    I am leaning harder and harder on ‘political comedy isn’t comedy’ as a rule. ‘It’s just a joke,’ is a far too common smokescreen for people pushing terrible ideas and mocking people spreading bad ideas doesn’t do anything to stop them. It can even help. Politics isn’t supposed to be entertaining. It’s the decisions that affect how we live our lives. We need comedy in politics like we need strippers in surgery.

      Same but some don’t tag their posts and I still see some posts slip through maybe I should block the news communities.

        if it’s that bad, I honestly think you shouldn’t be online.

        Not kidding, you need to take better care of yourself if it’s at the point where you’re setting filters and still getting stressed seeing political content, you’re not helping yourself escaping online.

        There have to be some other things you can do, places you can go, activities you can occupy yourself with or people you can hang out with.

        Because man… this shit happening right now is big, it’s history, it’s going to be really, really hard to escape it online because there are millions and millions of people far more involved and worried and trying to communicate their concerns.

    I’ve been arguing with Tankies and bots for like 2 days in an Anti-DNC meme.

    Some of them have unironically endorsed Republicans, like not even a joke, no mask, they just want things to burn.
