Showing Original Post only (View all)How do you feel about making fun of Republicans' physical appearance? [View all]
Trump's obesity. Sarah Sanders' eyes. Mitch McConnell's facial features. Etc.
I'm guessing most wouldn't say these sorts of things about allies, but the Republicans are considered fair game because they're so despised.
For those who would agree with the above statement, are you only comfortable making disparaging remarks about Trump et al on a discussion forum or would you say such things in public? At your workplace, for example?

So it's important to point out that fat people are fat, because lying about it makes it a weapon?
