My riposte to wingnut Comments on news sites - my coping mechanism

In the then-soon aftermath of our shock of the election results, when we were all sorting out what our reactions were going to be, my immediate one was to slam back Comments on wingnut news sites. A DUer whom I respect Replied that, fine, if I wanted to pass/waste time - which fairly much punctured my hurt and coping mechanism.  But I have done it anyway.

But really personally impactful has been that I broke-off/shunned/blackballed my local radio wingnut station that I had been attempting corrective information against their wingnut propaganda for over 30 years. Election night/dawn I sent them an email saying that this was goodbye-cruel-world-forever-take-that. So, really, I don't listen to the local radio propaganda circus AT ALL anymore - it's their loss.

*** But, back to the title subject, I am actively counter posting in a couple of national wingnut newspaper sites. Hence, as follows:

Of course the MAGAts have been orgasmic over their win, gloating over every news item about it or about our horror. So with the Notre Dame event, they were glorying about how Drumpf was there and was greeted warmly (read, "civilly" ) by the real leaders.

So, my riposte:

Well, yes, they reacted *civilly* to the  REALITY of the  brute, barbarian, a-hole in front of them.
