    I hope you’re right! I’m used to these kids online “Oh, I’d kick your ass” etc but threats of violence against republican and democratic leadership is spooky because there’s always that small chance that it’s actually an unhinged adult instead of an edgelord teen.

      I’ve got good and bad news for you: it’s an edge-lord adult. I get the feeling people would feel vicarious embarrassment for him if they knew what he looks like, how he acts, and what his life is like irl. Perhaps pitying him and moving on is the best emotional response.

      I’ve already blocked him, so, as far as I’m concerned, problem solved.
