Linking to my follow-up that I posted in thread, simultaneous with the creation of this thread (and a thank you for putting this in ATMB)
I think it addresses most of your points, please let me know if you want to further address it here.
About the TACO, I’m going to disagree - oh, not that the meme doesn’t represent a valid analysis for some (many?) Trump reactions. But @What_Exit had specifically moderated the thread to stop the sidetrack on people’s irritation (valid for the most part) with the precise wording, or creating NEW abbreviations that were more hurtful. IE, a lot of clever put downs that were sadly more representative of the harm done, but more suited to the Pit.
That sidetrack did nothing to further the thread, and my note was to advise @Duckster to avoid a repeat - I didn’t issue a warning for disobeying moderator instructions after all.
