This is the best way to handle bullies: confront them in bright daylight.

And then the bully got fired! Better and better.

Well deserved

IMHO, TFG unleashed the previously, socially contained lowest common denominator of derogatory, childish rhetoric.
No sooner us LGBTQ kicked open the closet doors do the deplorables try to adopt the "closet". Failure on their part to recognize learned patterns of deplorable behavior vs. inherent traits at least has placed them in an embarrassing spotlight.
Responsible, respectable leadership with impeccable equanimity matters, all down through a society.
Sometimes I not only cheer on consequences these idiots face, but desire public square crib-jails the ilk could share space with their tantrum throwing leader. We could all bring them pacifiers and diapers. But until they learned to change the soiled diapers among themselves, no release. With freedom comes responsibility.
Was that over the top? I can never tell...
