We had many threads here announcing that he was the greatest …… he can beat up everyone that we dislike, his gym clothes are so cool and make all the right people mad, and so on. Everything he said was awesome.

Now it’s “lurch” and “brain rot” and other despicable nasty bile. Essentially calling him the R word.

Simply for having a few beliefs that depart from a those of a few of us. Like standing with Israel, or some bipartisanship, or support of the military.

Please re-think the overt nastiness. Especially the insults for a medical condition.
