Who could have predicted that the people who were screaming the loudest about the dangers that “woke” college kids pose to “free speech” didn’t really care about free speech and instead wanted to impose their own speech codes. https://t.co/b1Ag4ZRQqq

Anti-anti-Trumpism has always been about moral cowardice. It's also a cover for people who don't find Trump nearly as objectionable as they claim to but want to avoid the moral stain of supporting him. So they get what they want while claiming to be appalled at *everyone*. https://t.co/XycfZDALEf

I'm finally at the point in my birdsite-to-fediverse journey that I filter retweets and mentions of the birdsite platform by name.

I don't even bother to click through and open them, unless they mention Apartheid Clyde (and that's only because I am *FEASTING* on the schadenfreude of that particular dumpster fire!).

Between that and the ongoing crypto nuclear winter, I am going to have to stock up on more popcorn! 🍿 🍿 🍿
