A tweet by Ivanka Trump @ivankatrump saying "I cannot believe that Theodore is eight months old today! Happy birthday little teddy bear!" with an admittedly cute picture of a child smiling. It has a reply from @blacknmild saying "this isn't how birthdays work"
I also feel the need to add that it doesn’t matter whether or not you fuel the right wing attacks. They have a persecution complex. They make shit up if they have to. Nothing made them angrier than the fact that the Obamas were a happy family, so what did they do? They attacked his wife and kids relentlessly anyway. Then they turn around and say “the radical left” are so mean.
It’s not about truth. It’s about fueling the fire and serving red meat 24/7. They will do it with or without your help.
That's true regardless, but when they say "Look how absurd the left is being," it's better when they don't have examples like this to point at.
The Internet is a big place. They will always find an extreme example for whatever they want, and if they can’t find one, some right wing grifter will make one up for them. I understand the concept of taking the highroad and all of that, and I generally do, but it is not her kid’s birthday and it is not some huge political step to go “that is not how birthdays work.” You’re acting like he called her a dumb c***.
