In reply to the discussion: I click on DU for news, opinion and comment. NOT more tRump threads. All so offensive. [View all]MissMillie
(39,539 posts)That thing went viral in the media all on its own. That's what made it newsworthy--and thus fair game for discussion on DU.
Reading about it on DU did provide some of us DUers with some comic relief. No, it's not funny that some people actually took him seriously, but it is noteworthy that some people took him seriously. And it IS funny that he actually believed that he had a good idea.
It WOULD be nice if the filters worked for you. One of the reasons the filters don't work is because people don't put context into the titles of their posts. That's something I have posted about many times, to no avail.
As much as I like DUers, my nearly 20 years of membership has taught me that I can't get them all to behave (in their post titles) the way I wish they would.
