I had to say this, because I see it so much, and it’s so goddamn dumb I want to blow my brains out every time.
When arguing (in my specific case) against conservatives, sometimes I’ll make a statement that LOGICALLY INFERS who I’m talking about, based on the obvious tone and position of my argument. And a conservative I’m talking to (or some other conservative jumps in), will take that unspoken inference, and use that empty space suggest that I meant the other guy🤦♂️
Example:
Me: “I can’t believe America voted for a criminal”, CLEARLY meaning Trump, as he’s the only convicted criminal to run for the office of President.
Them: “Uhhhhhh, YEAH…. JOE BIDEN!”
And then I assume they start high-fiving themselves and chuckling like it was some kind of sick burn.
Help me help you: THAT MAKES YOU LOOK LIKE A MORON. It’s not at all clever, it’s not at all funny, I’m EXPECTING you to say it, which totally kills the jab.
You guys are SO FUCKING BAD at all things comedy and wit. Like im not sure I’ve heard a single good insult from these guys since Trump arrived on the scene. Trump isn’t even funny, but he says “Sleepy Joe” and these adult kindergartners are holding their sides and rolling in the aisles. Like honestly, HOW OLD ARE YOU? How is that even Level 1 funny? These people must be the ones keeping network television sitcoms afloat.
There are just people in life who I know I’m operating on a higher plane of thought and existence than, and interacting with them is my curse in life. I’m so amazed at how many people are “holy shit”-stupid.
It doesn’t offend me politically, it offends me comedically. Literally so fucking un-funny and not the least bit clever. You probably tell cashiers “It must be free!” if your item doesn’t ring up, and think you’re the first person to ever say it. You’re probably not even the first person to say it that day🙄🤦♂️😂
This has been a PSA. I’M BEGGING YOU…. get wittier🙏 I can weather the Trump years, but I can’t weather bad comedy.
