    It wasn’t completely clear that my comment was pure sarcasm? Seriously?

      That’s been the conservative line all day. Repeating a partisan lie word for word is not sarcasm.

        Nobody conservative was defending this by saying he was pointing his thumb and the rest of his fingers violently at someone

      Youre talking to people whose country elected trump. Even the bright ones aren’t too bright.

      I’ve found online that /s is almost always needed. May take a bit from the joke but also, clarifies for everyone that you are not actually being an asshole when you can’t visibly roll your eyes and use the proper “sarcasm inflection”

          Fair. I’ve spent most my life working with the neurodivergent community, so even IRL I know some very intelligent people need a bit of help with implied meaning. I know I’ve had my fair share of “woosh” moments

        Who “points their thumb” at someone “violently”? What reality is this
