I used to subscribe to that principle, but now I'm afraid that going lower is, and will be, more effective.

Were they invited or did they just turn up hoping for an invite?

I reckon it was a certain heritage foundation that paid for all their expenses 🤔

Sorry, hard disagree on this one.

They deserve nothing but contempt and scorn.

I intend to revel in each and every humiliation that befalls them as the vile fascist Trump project that they've lashed themselves to runs aground and self destructs.

You have to earn respect, none of them have done anything to earn that

As Michelle Obama said, when they go low, we go high, and she's right because if we don't stand up for the dignity of our fellow citizen, we end up becoming as bad as they are, as we should never succumb to such temptation because standards and values mean something to us

Going high is pointless. Time to play the same rules as them.

The Obama presidency as well as most if not all US presidencies have all been the face of brutal regimes

Nope.

Fuck that.

We've tried being decent to intolerant people, and all it has done is get them to double down on being scumbags.

I'm not wasting the finite amount of empathy, kindness, and decency I have on people who wouldn't know what those words mean even if you showed them the definitions.
