Hot take 🧵:
Calling Trump "tRump," "Orange," "donOLD," or similar on the internet (esp. bluesky) does literally nothing to stop him and is generally very cringe.
The liberal addiction to the belief that ridiculing fascism's packaging actually does anything is exactly how we got here.

Further, it hasn't made and will not make a difference to scream into an echo chamber to ppl who already agree with you.
Continue to learn. Be curious. Invest in a healthier community with outcomes that reflect the world you want to live in. Help people. Reduce harm.
(Note: it doesn't have to be an argument. Gently making someone aware that something might come across as ignorant is a great start.)
Ppl have reached a breaking point, so we're seeing more estrangements and cut ties now, but ppl are still too tolerant of intolerance since being loud is inconvenient.
Having personal stakes and holding fast to principles of justice and equity, even if one's life is harder as a result, is the work that needs doing.
This thread reminded me that im not alone, thank you.
