What is really sad is comments by right wing trolls on Medium - it is not possible for you just to comment on what was said, maybe refute it or challenge it in some way. Because you have nothing to say. So you just insult the person, make comments about them, not what they said, without knowing the slightest thing about them, and that makes you feel all snickery. "Snicker, snicker, oooh, I called him a poopy-head!". You've learned well the lessons taught to you by Donald tRump. Yes, it is sad that our culture has descended to this.
