People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.

RULES:

  1. Mark NSFW content.
  2. No doxxing people.
  3. Must be a pic of the tweet or similar. No direct links to the tweet.
  4. No international politcs
  5. Be excellent to each other.
  6. Provide an archived link to the tweet (or similar) being shown if it's a major celebrity, figure or any politician. If you replace the "x" at their site with xcancel (so it beomes xcancel.com), and you're not on mobile, it will save video. https://web.archive.org/save is another great option. Archive.is is no longer recommended because they remove/alter content.
  7. If a tweet (or similar) makes a statement of fact, either mark it as "satire" in the body or provide the original source link backing up the statement

Not OP but I'd wager he will say that you shouldn't treat them like kids, that's already looking down on them. Just because they got duped repeatedly doesn't mean we shouldn't lose our ability to empathize. They just started their introspective, assist it as much as you can and you can make them go from conservative to progressive even. The movement needs all the pebbles it can get.

I guess my thoughts got lost in translation since I'm not a native speaker, that's what i was thinking too. Btw, i don't look kids from above, i see them as overly emotional, easily distracted, can't take care of themselves, but always full of potential.

Yeah. There's also the fact that they can read our fucking comments and know exactly what we think of them. If we think we're belittling them privately and manipulating them elegantly; We aren't.

I'll also say this: Trump vs. Kamala should've been an easy win for Kamala. Y'all fucked up.
