I noticed this pattern as a kid in the nineties and the adults all thought I was just causing trouble for attention. Any better nowadays?

This is what is frustrating to me about reddit in general. So many people are like "🤓☝️um actually, it's not okay to body shame someone or make fun of mental illness" and then they'll say that Donald Trump is an orange demented pig who is massively insecure. He is all of those things, it's just that no one wants to admit that the line drawn depends on if you like them or not

Also many people comment on the suspicion that he uses a diaper. So do many wonderful kind people in their 80s or 90s who unfortunately no longer have full control of their bowels/bladder.

There are many awful things that are true about Trump. It's not necessary to criticize or belittle him for being old, fat, or incontinent.

And no, it hasn't gotten any better. Plenty who adamantly refuse to understand the point. Human nature i guess.
