I'm game for this...Republicans would disappear from the net overnight if they had to use their real names.
I wish that were true but what actually happens is some people are nicer, but asshats are still asshats. People who might have called an asshat an asshat, now just respond politely, but the asshats grow more bold.
So what you'll get is any sense of reasonable Republican to quiet down, and the worst Republicans to speak louder.
Trump can call people vermin and Republicans celebrate. Biden responds that such language is Nazi-like, since we can't call him an actual Nazi, and Republicans scream back that Biden is overreacting.
Right? This is another in a hilarious series of self-owns. The vast majority of problematic accounts are right wing assholes.
Seriously. They are too cowardly to even use their main accounts. A lot of them have alts because they know they're unpopular.
Yup. Wouldn’t put it past her to be targeting Trans kids who are seeking help anonymously though.
