It's not entirely different -

In the way I described it as being different, it most definitely is different. I accept "too soon" as a valid criticism, I do that to relieve stress and don't really care on the internet. IRL I'm different. But I also make social mistakes - not everyone likes me, but they like my wife.

Frankly, it looks like any excuse is being used right now to get anyone Trump doesn't like off the air. That is what's happening, and characterizing it as "those people" who don't pay attention to conservative sensibilities - it isn't, it's pay attention to Trump's sensibilities. He's threatened Australian journalists. Perhaps he's sensed the moment has given him more power, conservatives are posting "turn in people to their employers" - because employers are scared, so this is an unusual time. I suppose Dope could turn me in somewhere and go after my retirement. That's the ticket! :)

I'm sure if I worked at it, I'd remember who got damaged by progressives on the RW side from poor jokes at these times, but it's late and the mind is blank.

Trump is displaying incredible power right now. I'm hoping it doesn't last.
