I do, I was just having a bit of fun.

The eternally outraged are a breed of moral narcissists who now have Twatter as a platform to give them the attention they crave which in any other era they woudn't have had the talent or appeal to have had. They think that attacking the morality of others elevates themself. When, in essence, they're just creating opposition that otherwise didn't exist. The Twatter phenomenon is made worse by the fall of the print media. Journos think they have gauged public opinion by opening a tab on their browser, whereas they used to actually leave the office and interact with people.

If the era of Obama gave us the hypocrtical social justice warrior, then I reckon the blowback of the Trump era will be the overly outspoken who are outraged by outrage. I don't want to fall into either trend if I can help it, but if I think of a punch line I'll use it. Especially if its a bit dodgy.
