I’m a reasonable man, get off my case. (he/him)
In fairness, “Indivisible” is not responsible for this. This is some rando with an Indivisible account who AT MOST speaks for one chapter, and probably not even that.

None of this stuff actually bothers them at all. It’s all the price worth paying for “saving the babies” (abortion rate is up but that doesn’t matter because women suffer more in the process now).

All of these people have exactly the same approach to “the most pro-life administration in history,” which is that whenever anything obviously terrible happens, they “wait for the facts to be in” and them immediately insist that the truth is whatever absurd lie someone comes up with in an X thread

Making insisting on the truth “cringe” is one of MAGA’s main techniques and I think it’s good to build the muscle of doing it anyway. Simple as that. He is not the president! Sorry that that’s an annoying thing to say. It’s true, so I don’t care.

I also avoid saying his name on its own. “Herr Donald” or “Drumpf” at all times. Don’t care that this is annoying shitlib stuff. I am willing to be cringe in an effort to avoid letting this evil evil evil son of a bitch colonize my speech.

He is not the president because he cannot legally hold the office of president. Antipresident (by analogy to antipope) would work as well.

He was also on the court before Alito and Roberts were so it could just be a matter of the typical age of judges, I suppose. I would be curious if there’s a way to confirm this.

My pet theory for this kind of thing is that sometimes even when people don’t really follow the principles they claim to follow, advocating for them in a convincing way can affect the people you influence.

If you had a magic machine that could tell you it is an absolute fact that “the American people never elect a fascist,” that would be a good demonstration Trump is not a fascist. Unfortunately back here on earth it doesn’t work that way.
