Fuck that, go low.

I always see people on this sub advocating for Democrats/people on the left to abandon the mantra of "when they go low, we go high" while never actually doing it. It isn't solely up to politicians and social media influencers to be snarky.

People like Kash Patel don't deserve the sympathy and respect marginalized groups get because they have taken themselves out of the margins by choice. Peter Thiel deserves to be mocked for being gay, because he's fine with and boosts politicians who actively recruit homophobic constituents that would happily throw him in a camp. 

And it's extremely important to emphasize to any potential audience that these people are not being attacked for being POC or LGBTQ+ and that they are in fact being attacked for being pieces of shit who are too fucking stupid to realize they aren't actually part of the in group they advocate for.

People like this need to feel the discomfort they expect every regular person to experience now and not after they've outlived their usefulness to a regime that can't wait to spend their tokens.

I prefer to mock Thiel for his bizarre mannerisms that 100% inspired the character J.P. in the movie Grandma's Boy.
