    I’m semi convinced everyone clowning on Trump with nicknames is what makes him unstoppable. Call him orange, call his makeup gross, call him poopy pants. He can kill your fucking family with impugnity now. He essentially always could. He does not, and never truly did care about what his enemies on the internet think, we’re not threats or even really real to him. His audacity totally eclipsed yours. We only made ourselves feel better with Orange Man Bad. It was pissing me off from the beginning. Everyone thinks its funny Hitler had Jewish blood and one nut now, but we get to laugh about that with the benefit of hindsight. The here and now should be about taking everything deadly fucking seriously. Pithy nicknames were his strongsuit, not ours. Wanna talk semiotics and the “weird” attack vector? Okay, but that one was the first one that stuck in years and it was a criticism levied at the total of the GOP, not just Trump.
