So, in the first image the guy is wearing a ton of makeup and likely photoshopped on top of that. Second one is just a random picture of a real person. Relax folks, there are real reasons to make fun of these people, their looks are but the very tippity tip top of the iceberg.

Are you saying we should be compassionate about the way we mock fascists? I generally don't condone making fun of the way people look, but this is an exception I'm absolutely willing to make and it also doesn't stop us from mocking anything else about them. And no, none of us should relax. You should probably get off that high horse before you catch a nose bleed though.

Not OP and mocking fascists is AOK in my book. But to OPs point it is quite an ignorant way to do it and would backfire.

Like this is clearly a filtered photo vs an unfiltered photo. If you showed this to a neutral or someone on the right and said, "haha see how MTG ruins her husband", you would be giving them ammo to discredit you in future conversations because they know for a fact you are being dishonest here.

okay but the thing is, nobody on the right gives a fuck if you are honest or not. playing fairly gets you nothing.

Go down to their level and fuck 'em up
