SEN. @[email protected] : “Draft-Dodging Donald loves sending other people’s children to war… Just 2 weeks into this war Trump said he needed $200 BILLION to fund it — that’s a decade of nationwide universal pre-k… instead, a war no one voted for, and no one can explain.”

This has nothing to do with social media, and furthermore, it isn't particularly notable. Discovering that lots and lots of people are miserable, rotten human beings is little more than rediscovering Sturgeon's Revelation:

“90% of everything is crud.”

Life is about the 9.9% that isn’t crud and the 0.1% that is amazing.
