    Big insult chains like that only hit home for me if each one adds a new dimension or sense to the insult. This is just saying stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid over and over again. Reminds me of le epic reddit insults like “fuckwaffle” or whatever the hell it was. I hate conservatives and fascism as much as anyone, but it’s tiring to see such circlejerky posts that basically just say “conservatives dumb, upvote below”. I don’t need my opinion circlejerked, I’m already convinced of it without some random man telling me it’s true. And there’s nothing cathartic about reading this either because of how try-hard the insult sounds. Bleh.

      Agree, I also think that insulting tangentially related things (or just completely unrelated) kinda spoils your point. Like, is the problem with MAGA the fascism, or is it stupid people with mullets? Because I know a lot of stupid people and many are genuinely good people, hate is a choice you make.
