    these people’s misplaced loyalty and abhorrent actions speak for themselves. there is no need to resort to slurs that demean others

      That slur was very clearly directed at the orange removed, not anyone else. He’s demeaning the exact person he means to demean.

        i understand, and that is the point. using a term for how some people simply “are” as an insult is demeaning to them regardless of who the insult is aimed at.

        i only ask that you try to see it from a so-called “removed’s” point if view, the message being that trump is as stupid as they are. its not very considerate to be compared to trump, or to be considered the lowest bar for intelligence.
