I don't gotta use it to know it always reliably shuts down a ranting MAGA guy on Twitter more than any other response.

Doesn't make using it less of a asshole move. You can and should be better than that.

I was just pointing out it worked, and that there is so far nothing else that matches it

"hey this person is also kinda my kind of asshole" is the only convincing that does, insulting people doesn't do shit else and doing it with a slur just makes you a jackass

I am not advocating for it, I am just saying on Twitter it is the only insult that makes conspiracy brained right wing morons aggravated enough to try to prove themselves to the insulter and fail. It is because it tacitly signals someone potentially from their in-group is discrediting them.
