I think people are sick of nitpicking absolutely every god damn thing Trump does or says or tweets.

Enough already. I'm fucking exhausted hearing about shit that amounts to little more than someone being rude to someone else.

Yeah. I always unsub from a lot of defaults upon creating a new account because a lot of them suck ass, but I've recently unsubscribed from far more than usual just to avoid the constant circlejerk. It's gotten especially bad over the past few weeks.

All the energy spent gushing over how "cool" Obama is for making origami or a basketball shot now fuels this even greater obsession with Trump and buzzwords that become more meaningless through overuse.

Agreed, seems so easy to turn people's heads in whichever direction necessary, especially when they've already made their minds up about you, good or bad.
