If it helps get the ball rolling, I'd be willing to call Universal Healthcare "Trumpcare".
Be clear: I want his name out of my mouth as much as you do out of yours. But I think he'd be open to this pitch.

Okay, remember the "scary clown" fad of 2016? Those weren't real just like today's "scary drones" aren't real.

Shooting the Grinch point blank in the back of the head on a city sidewalk but successfully eluding capture because the words “stink”, “stank”, “stunk” are etched on the shell casings and everyone kind of gets it

This is the right take, IMO.
An Assassin Showed Just How Angry America Really Is
The murder of UnitedHealth Care CEO Brian Thompson was brutal. The reactions were telling. Elite disdain for the rule of law is leading to a society that is spinning out of control.

UHC has removed photos of all their executives from their website. I suggest replacing them with pics of Barbara Streisand.

people say “you need to start living in the real world” but they forget that the real world includes lupines and lightning bugs and ginger beer and starlight and sea coasts and Renoir paintings and Rachmaninoff’s piano concertos and fog banks and foxes playing in snow.

Not to be ghoulish, but that CEO’s lead allergy sounds like a pre-existing condition to me.

A Democrat breathes
Media rage-orgasms
Progressives demand everyone take a stand against the breath
MAGA screech about breathers while huffing from personal oxygen tanks
Elected Ds explain respiration, no one cares
GOP breaks something important while we argue
Everyone forgets.

I really do not give one diaphanous ghost of a fuck that Biden pardoned his son.
America just showed that it will actively punish politicians sticking to the norms & upholding morality while rewarding the most outlandish corruption.
Trump’s going to pardon himself & the media will barely notice.

My "block" policy is, I'll block anyone who's clearly just engaging in order to start an argument. Someone legitimately participating in discourse gets to stay whether I agree or not.
So far my "you get blocked" standard has been met by 100% of the right-leaning voices I've encountered.

The "bluesky is an echo chamber" think pieces that keep popping up really tickle me because they show how certain people genuinely believe social media should be for debating and arguing and not talking about the things that make you happy and sharing art with the world.
