(7,809 posts)Like cats can't resist a dangling string, the poor widdle snowflakes feel compelled to explode in outrage over minor things that don't affect them.
Of course, they ignore the real outrages like the thousands who die from preventable medical issues and the millions are understandably scared to pieces of being pulled over for driving with a skin tone not to some rogue cop's liking.
Name one person - just one person - in this country whose life was changed in the slightest by their latest target of outrage. Compare that to the number of people adversely affected by the things that I find outrageous.

Then they go fucking apeshit and will attack everyone and everything that's not paying attention to them 100%. It's how Ann Coulter, Bill O'Reilly, and Rush Limbaugh got started. They have a real inferiority complex.
We need to ignore them!
