it’s round two, you hashtag resist people really gotta stop using bizarre nicknames for Trump. “Orange Drumpf” etc didn’t hit in 2016 and it extremely does not hit now

It's not even "people doing the thing you said not to as an unfunny bit," it's just people deciding that THEIRS is the one that's gonna win you over, somehow, and honestly that's maybe more depressing?
It's unbelievable. I just yelled at a guy for arguing definitions of words instead of, you know, doing something and he claimed that he *was* doing something: insisting we call things by their proper names. I muted the goddamn thread.
i make up nicknames for him because i hate his guts. i still dont understand what that resister business is but like...ill use them on my page and not yours.
if it helps, so so so many of those people are bots. chatgpt + stable diffusion = very cheap very convincing bots dressed up to look like annoying Vote Blue No Matter Who normies, deployed by anyone with $$$ (GOP, Russia, etc).
learning to filter/ignore them will save you time and energy 👍
And to be fair, I don't think I'm accomplishing anything by calling him Hitler McRapey. It's more of a self-soothe and inability to type or say his name without getting physically ill.
i could dunk on you for being childish and insufferable, or i could just point out that you made an account called "still moderate" after trump's second win and let that speak for itself lol
I could point out that shitting on moderates and fragmentation of the voters that agree with you is why you keep losing, but I'd rather just let that simmer while I ponder why what the fuck we call that makes any bit of difference.
Honestly, that's what it is. Every time one of em posts a new, unwieldy nickname, it has the same energy as that one guy at the party who gets a few drinks in him and starts telling extremely tortured jokes and laughing very loudly at them all by himself.
In 2025, it's hard to tell what's bizarre anymore. Darth Kumquat, for example. Is that bizarre? It strikes me as barely off-kilter. Maybe odd...maybe. But bizarre? Surely not.
Hashtag resist people need to figure out how to actually fucking resist instead of praying for feds to arrest the guy who shares the most brutal version of their politics, and hopefully learn that electing institutionalists when no one likes the institutions is absolutely braindead shit.
Like "the institutions will save us," is just "I put my critical thinking to bed years ago," shit. The institutions that gave us the "war on terror," told Martin Luther King to kill himself, overthrew hundreds of democratically elected leaders, and killed working class movements? Those ones????
Weirdly that may actually be the correct spelling of the family name but it's equally obnoxious to use it in 2025. This is not even close to a time for hand wringing and running from reality. That's how we GOT HERE.
Anyone who does the nickname thing is immediately telling on themselves as someone who is privileged enough to never be materially impacted by Trump's policies.

You don't need me to tell you this but fwiw you're 100% right

Always expecting the worst keeps me sane. Not healthy, but ehh.

mute, mute, mute.
at least several tiresome people in the replies: "you mean *thiiis thing*? lol"
random, tiresome, "actually," person that constantly trolls posts looking for something to complain about: "hey, you did that thing!"
me: 😘
