I doubt the comment was made seriously, but it was still a stupid thing to say. Suicide is not a joking matter. Ever.

Stupid thing for the speaker to say , stupid thing for people to post as if it were true out of simple partisan hackery.

Default The Thing is...

...Humor is subjective. One man's joke is another man's breaking point. It's all contextual...in that context, judging by their reactions..it was funny to them.

No-one gets to decide what is funny..objectively..and what is not. If the joke misses you..then move on.

For example, I find some people's reactions to this post much funnier than the actual link. But that's just me.

I think there is a school of thought though..that says that a lot of the Alt/right is composed of ageing baby boomers---and that the Millennials are waiting in the wings...just...waiting.

The culture wars..are a war of attrition and demographics. I leave it to the individual to discern who that favors..in the long run.

Couple of questions:

How was what he said even remotely funny and what point was being made in which the grammatical tool of sarcasm could have been employed?

What can you do but to roll your eyes at their ridiculousness.

Emojis were made for Republicans - - but they still don't understand sarcasm.

Good try, Maine is the whitest state in the Union. Democrats especially ones that represent a 93% white state hate white people soo much.........
