the difference between GOP and DNC [View all]

When the GOP triggers the libs, they celebrate it like someone on their team just scored. They give no fucks, no matter how outrageous the stunt is.

When a democrat triggers the GOP, they act like we robbed them of their innocence. They manufacture outrage at every little slight, perceived and real.

And we let them control the narrative by clutching our pearls every time Karen and Kevin are upset.

Listen up: the GOP does not get to control the outrage calendar, and dictate what the rest of the world should be outraged by. Don't fall for it.

I propose we take a page from their very effective playbook. When they are sour, it's a sign we're winning! History bears this out: if they aren't upset, we're NOT DOING IT RIGHT!

More tan suits! More bdays outdoors! More mask mandates! Celebrate covid deathbed conversions! More critical race theory indoctrination! More medicare for all! More black lives matter! More gays!

The optics of not giving a fuck about faux outrage frees us to do the right thing and sometimes the right thing is to say, fuck it.

How can we trigger them tomorrow?
