    I think there's a truth to that Vanity Fair article. The right uses humor far more to mock its enemies, whereas the left has fallen into this defensive trap. And that might not be a compliment to the right as these are serious issues. But in the court of public opinion in courting the middle, I think humor will win over seriousness on most issues.

    Your assessment of me has no importance. You are free to have whatever opinion makes you happy. I have no ill will towards you and wish you well. If you volunteer your time to help others, that's great. I commend you for it!

    What he calls humor I don't. It's really that simple. Making fun of others for their opinion doesn't require anymore critical thinking skills than a young bully in a schoolyard.

    "he" needs a clear antecedent for the pronoun

    Speak for yourself for a change. I got off ignore to see if any of you have changed but nope. Still come on here to make fun of others for their opinions without any true discussion about the topic they are concerned about. It's all just woke woke woke woke poke fun by hating, and tag your good old boys to join in. Schoolyard nonsense. No more reading ignored posters. Make fun all you want. Whatever rocks your toy boat.

    Check inbtw. I'm checking on him. No
    So do something yourself instead of talking on the internet. You don't need to validate yourself to me. Actually do what you type

    Show me what you do in the community. You want to volunteer? I'll take you to Tre and we'll help. You don't even have to make it public. You're lying. Don't talk on the internet.

    Woke people hate humor
    They tried canceling Dave Chappelle and comedians getting attacked on stage

    this person has a serious wokeness problem
    They might get mad at you for eating fried chicken because you didn’t care about the chickens feelings

    They are just here to rant and use Clutchfans for fake political outrage to hide their true personal problems

    I mean does this person even love the Rockets?

    I ran into Tari Eason at the nugget at summer league

    Yes one rando screenshot of a tweet doesn't erase the long storied history of racism within the modern GOP.

    As expected, not real. But its "satire", so no harm done!



    Shameless, indeed. LOL ...

    Woke people are like old grump white folk singers who leave their streaming service because they don't like comedian podcasters
    then come back because they realize nobody listens to them outside streaming
