Your anger is futile.
That nickname was coined by a conservative news article and outlet - go look it up.
Politicians are always going to be depicted as men of the people. That's not what astroturfing is... you should brush up on the term.
I hope you have a much better day than you deserve π. It seems like you're going through some stuff
Aww it's cute that you think your bullshit is crafty enough to rile me up lol. My use of emphatic language is out of bafflement, not anger.
Nope. Not going to spend the time and effort looking up YOUR claim. YOU provide a source or stfu.
Btw, even IF it bizarrely turns out that the notoriously pro-business and anti-consumer conservatives were the ones who came up with it, that doesn't change the context and meaning which I'm using it.
I literally defined the term for you. Unlike you, I'm fully aware of what it means. You're acting like Vizzini from The Princess Bride with his constant misuse of "inconceivable!"
If by that you mean "wasting time and effort trying to talk sense into a Dunning Kruger poster boy", then yeah. I have bad impulse control that sometimes makes me keep answering when bad faith arguing idiots adress me directly even though I know it's a bad idea.
In conclusion: you started out with nonsense and if anything just got worse from there. Please leave me alone.
