True. But it has been rather remarkable to watch the way these kids have utterly dismantled the wingularity’s ability to frame issues and otherwise fuck shit up. This is probably my absolute favorite:

The term ‘asymmetrical warfare’ comes to mind here.

Wingnuts applied it first, throwing away any adherence to decorum. And since sane people hadn’t abandoned basic decorum, wingnuts were treated with a certain amount of deference. And they got used to it.

These kids give less of a fuck about decorum than wingnuts do. Bill O’Reilly? He’s just another wrong-headed asshole to these kids, and they’re treating him like it. Likewise Trump, and Rubio, and their footsoldiers Loesch and Hannity. They’re all being trolled and treated just like any rando on the internet, and they fucking hate it.

They made that bed, though. Now they get to go lie the fuck down and take their internet beatings from a bunch of kids who are way better at it than they are.
