It's because instead of using logic to reason, they use emotion: usually outrage, fear, uncertainty, anger, distrust. All while of course projecting the 'overly emotional and illogical' stamp onto "bleeding heart liberals".

Caps conveys what their audience pays attention to.

That was such a wild time with a new scandal or two every morning. I don't blame anyone for forgetting.

I hope to God I don't ever have to explain to my son or daughter how Trump got elected a second time.

He withheld aid from the president of Puerto Rico. Which... Was him.

Not here in Minnesota. Thanks Mr. Walz!

To attack a narcissist, you need to attack the cracks in the reality they paint for themselves.

It just so happens that as someone who has been an enthusiastic and professional grade debater for 40+ years, Harris also knew exactly how to do this without getting his mud on herself, and she knew to do it just as he was hoping to hit his stride.

It was great to watch. So many politicians from so many walks of life have been completely humiliated by Trump's ridiculous persona. He's so inflammatory, so full of lies, and so narcissistic professional politicians have been reduced to flinging his poo back at him. Instead Harris made him wallow in it.

You know that famous Texas saying: "Don't tread on me, unless you're a christofacist, then HARDER."

It won't actually work. So yes, this is just a grift until funding dries up.

Oh to be clear, it's all humor. At least mostly, I'm sure there are RMS level fanatics somewhere that truly believe some of the BS.

This is something as old as time. I've seen it prolifically on Reddit (though not in the Emacs community, they generally discourage memes), various Linux forums, old Usenet, various programming forums... I'm not trying to be evasive, but it's hard to provide examples that aren't specifically cherry picked, which wouldn't benefit the conversation much.

There's even a Wikipedia page dedicated to this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Editor_war

See if it's supported by Lineage OS.

Bruh 😂 the Emacs user community absolutely constantly shit on Vim users. When they added Vi(m) bindings they literally named it 'evil mode', and they constantly make fun of people who use it, and spacemacs, and the latest flavor of (neo)vi(m), and all the extensions necessary to make vim halfway useful as an ide, etc etc etc.

Real talk though: why would he ever rule out future possibilities?

If you think Jill Stein represents any sort of real leftist ideology, I have a number of bridges to offer you.
