    Onion is supposed to be satire, most of this seemed like solid advice.

    I’m a radical leftist who believes in forcibly castrating all men and sewing their penises onto newborn girls

    This is what Republicans actually believe (or close enough)

      They’ve spent their whole lives preparing to meet you in person and destroy you.

      Handles that pretty nicely

    “As an American, letting a Canadian tell you what to do is a beta move.”

    I love turning the chuds’ rhetoric around on them. If they want to argue in bad faith I’ll get right down into the mud

      That’s what I’m talking about! Enough of taking the high road - we can’t let them continue gaslighting. Every time I see a matter-of-fact statement I throw it right back to them. Turns into a silly circle jerk that never goes anywhere.

    amazing that anyone even listens to this pest, the only time he’s not sobbing uncontrollably is when he’s in a coma.

      He’s a psychologist. He gives fairly solid advice to people in need of it.

      Personally, I feel sorry for him that he got himself mixed up in the whole political circus.

        he’s a grifter, and the “political circus” is exactly where he wants to be. save your empathy for those who deserve it.

          You might not like him or agree with him, but calling him a grifter might be a bit much.
