      I found it really weird that that show was cancelled, by the way. I remember a lot of people speculating that it seemed very strange that something seemingly popular was cancelled so quickly.

      I don’t remember a whole lot, but I seem to recall it had a fair bit of bothsiderist aspect. Even so, we know what snowflakes the rightwing can be.

        The term snowflake the way its used now was coined for them exclusively. The term predates the maga’s but its the same people. Fake news is another term created for their types. Specifically the one for fox news which a lot of people started calling Faux News and finally just fake news. Fake news is fox news. The truth is the snowflakes hated being called snowflakes so they started calling everyone snowflakes. Same story with fake news. Its not like any of them have any originality.

          Honestly, they do this with everything. They chafed about “political correctness” and of course ignored all of their own that they constantly try to impose on others, most especially by the force of government.

          They call their movement “teabaggers” because they thought they were going to get away with something about how they were going to “teabag” other people, meaning they were going to be owning them, etc (haw haw! we are talking about dunking OUR BALLS into your mouth and you don’t even know! Take that, liberals!).

          The very minute Rachel Maddow and others started snickering at them, they realized that it made them look quite gay, and they tried to act like the name never existed, that the mean Democrats made it up, and so on. I used to get timeouts on certain forums because pointing out this history was too much for the fans of the “tea party”, the babies would queen out every time, argue a bit with me, see they were losing and go full snowflake and run to the mods and have my posts taken down for violating “community guidelines”. The mods, when not being overly bothsiderist, were in some cases known to be maga.
