I don't know. I can understand that perspective, but to me playing by his rules and means is no different than him winning. The face is different, but the actions are the same. We can never destroy a monster by becoming the monster.

You don’t destroy a monster by being nice to it or worrying about their feelings. You can’t fight a Nazi and the establishment of an authoritarian regime by taking the moral high ground, when they have no morals and ignore the law. When a bully punches you in the mouth, you need to punch him back.
The moral high ground is the road to take if you want to avoid becoming whatever Trump is. And body shaming and homophobic slurs are NOT fighting. If I'm worried about anything it's what society turns into when it 'goes low ' especially since that's what happens when they're not fighting at all.
And worrying about the semantics of whether it’s ok to to make fun of the pedophile when he’s the most racist, hateful person on this planet, who constantly mocks and insults everyone is quite rich. The gloves have to come off to fight a Nazi. You don’t play nice, because THEY aren’t, and NEVER will
Where are you getting the idea that my problem with body shaming is his feelings? Or that I have a problem fighting? I think you've missed the point here somewhere.
And how has taking the moral high ground worked out for the Democrats? Have any of their memo’s or strongly worded letters resulted the slowing down or stopping the rise of Fascism? It hasn’t. Socitey in America has been diseased for decades with misogyny and racism. Worrying about that now is moot
That's not them taking the moral high ground that's them not doing anything. How does body shaming do anything? Does anyone really think he's reading it all and quaking in his shoes? Is Vance going to be a nice pres after Trump kicks off because of the insults? It's middle school level non-action.
Your focus on body shaming is missing the point and the much bigger and important issue. Enjoy your long weekend.
Not at all missing the point. Nor is my focus on his feelings. Thanks, I am enjoying it. Same to you.
