    While I agree that generalized statement “don’t feed the trolls” is valid, it’s completely unacceptable that a sitting US President acts in such a way and must be called out for the insanity that he suggests/causes. Sitting quietly, not being vocal, can be interpreted as compliance. But really, what a fucking timeline we are in…

      Yeah, there’s a significant difference between not giving some rando on the internet attention, and warning the general populace that the leader of one of the mightiest nations on Earth is a greater loon than they can imagine.

      yeah, well, calling him out on every random tweet is how we got here.

      There is no such thing as bad attention, and you don’t feed the trolls.
