    “I’m tired of walking a tightrope worrying about what Fox News might say.”

    I’m going to give you some advice that my great aunt Edna gave me 35 years ago, when I went to my first day at kindergarten, and the other kids made fun of me.

    “Fuck 'em! Fuck the whole lot! Who gives a shit what they say? They probably poop the bed everynight!”

    You’d be surprised how often that advice applies to current situations.

      I think the unity gesture to someone in person is worth it though

        Probably not worth it in the electoral sense, but you know what? I’d rather have a human than a robot calculating the electoral effect of every interaction he has with another person.

        This wasn’t strategic. It was just human.

          Eh. Sometimes people are jacked up on what everyone else is saying, so of he’s willing to have a bit of banter with them it really breaks the ice and shows he isn’t a bloodsucking satan worshipper or whatever people are saying
