    It wasn’t completely clear that my comment was pure sarcasm? Seriously?

      That’s been the conservative line all day. Repeating a partisan lie word for word is not sarcasm.

        Nobody conservative was defending this by saying he was pointing his thumb and the rest of his fingers violently at someone

      I’ve found online that /s is almost always needed. May take a bit from the joke but also, clarifies for everyone that you are not actually being an asshole when you can’t visibly roll your eyes and use the proper “sarcasm inflection”

        I’ve found that people who can’t detect obvious sarcasm are probably not worth the effort of explaining it

          Fair. I’ve spent most my life working with the neurodivergent community, so even IRL I know some very intelligent people need a bit of help with implied meaning. I know I’ve had my fair share of “woosh” moments

          Tbh one of the things that makes detecting sarcasm vs actually just defending him hard is that normally you can use prior knowledge of a persons opinions to help, but here I have no clue who you are and what your positions are and you might just be a random Nazi.

          If you really don’t like just having the /s there, one options is to include a spoiler and put the /s in there a few lines down.

      Youre talking to people whose country elected trump. Even the bright ones aren’t too bright.

          if I may interject with a suggestion going forwards, I usually add one of these to a comment when I’m being a smartass

          for the intellectually challenged

          /s

          then again you may find it funnier to omit that, I’m not your dad, do what you want.

            I really do find it funnier to omit clues to idiots who read my comments
