@NotImportant @Shadowman311 this was a comfortable principle because the left was always in violation of it, just like they always threw bombs and invaded capitol buildings (and still do). Same way that "narc" is a classic leftist insult despite antifa being an unofficial extension of the FBI now. This stuff was always fashion more than politics, like wearing red or blue ties, or having a US flag pin.

As far as fashion goes, I'd prefer to have a national leader not be treated like a clown, but as far as politics goes it's much more important to me that the national leader not *actually be* a clown.
