Congratulations to our presumptive Democratic nominee, Joe Biden!
In a related vein, I enjoy seeing groups reclaim hateful language. I participate on another forum that has a small politics section - so you see people of all types joining in the fray there. It was actually created because pro-Trump people were disrupting the main forums which have nothing to do with politics at all.
The anti-Trump folks, a coalition of Democrats, Independents, and NeverTrumpers rather than the far left mob the pro-Trump folks like to believe they are, have started using "libtard" to identify themselves. The pro-Trump posters are clearly in a conundrum over what to do about losing their go-to insult. Some of the pro-Trump people there literally could not write a single post without using the word. Every single post.
Without seeming to coordinate, the anti-Trump posters refrain from profanity and name-calling while the pro-Trump crowd uses some of the most profane vocabulary I think I've run across online to date. The difference in tone is measured in miles not inches. So when the anti-Trump posters began referring to themselves as "libtards" without resorting to epithets for the pro-Trump posters it was quite amusing to watch. That tactic won't work all the time of course, but it sure has been fun to see them flounder about without their preferred verbal sparring weapon having any impact whatsoever. Forum judo? 
If I were to vote in a presidentialprimary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
