Devils advocate here: If she voiced support for Trump, a lot of us here would be equally upset.
Equally upset? Doubtful. Taking to her Xitter and harassing her? Probably not.
1.) Devil's* Advocate
2.) "Equally" is inaccurate at best, and implies that the mentally deficient still fervently rabid for his scatological spew have the capacity for rational thought. 🤷🏼♂️
I wouldn’t have harassed her. I wouldn’t have even tried to talk to her.
She's been warned of ya. Knows to cross the street if she sees you coming
Man I don't even reply to my family's political bullshit on private feeds, what makes you think I'd give 2 neurons of effort calling out a practical stranger out in public?
There’s a difference between insulting her on a forum thread, insulting her in her replies / tagging her official account.
The idea is "playing" devil's advocate. Saying you are the devil's advocate just screams how ignorant you really are.
I'm autistic. I navigate the world with more effort, making sense of things with evidence. The evidence heavily suggests that many humans are purposefully trying to make a world which harms humans. This doesn't upset me.
So, no, I wouldn't be upset. It would just be another data point, and I would be one realisation of the moral failure of the human world closer to death.
That would require going on Instagram
I have never cared so strongly about something that I felt it was appropriate to harass someone via Twitter for their views on it.
I'll be negatively judging them, sure, but I'm not going to flood their DMs with death threats. That's some basement dwelling troglodyte bullshit right there.
