    I don’t think “hey everyone, let’s make fun of a disabled 17-year-old tearfully expressing love for his father” is gonna play as well as they thought.

      talk radio host Jay Weber tried to parody Tim Walz, tweeting, “Meet my son Gus. He’s a blubbering bitch boy. His mother and I are very proud.” Weber later said that he deleted his tweet after learning that Gus was disabled—he just meant to attack a 17-year-old boy for being emotional.(Weber has since deleted his explanatory tweet as well.)

      What a bunch of weirdos

        It’s funny(depressing?) to think that someone probably had to tell him that his explanation for the first tweet wasn’t making anything better and that he did not get it by himself. And I’m sure he still doesn’t understand what he did wrong

      MAGA doesn’t care. They were fine with Trump making fun of someone with CP in 2016, and they’re fine with this.

        …does CP mean what I think it does? Because someone who has that stuff doesn’t need to be defended. They need to be jailed.

            I would have never guessed that. Cp and dp have very specific abbriviations on the internet. Its all I see when I see those abbriviations.

                What is CSAM, and do I even want to know?

                  Stands for something like child sexual abuse material iirc. It’s a more formal term for child porn, the kind you’d see in like Facebook moderator job descriptions or court filings against accused sex offenders

                  CP wasn’t comfortable with itself, so it prefers to identify as CSAM.

          Ambiguous acronyms aren’t exactly a new phenomenon. A single google search for “trump making fun of someone with cp 2016” turned up plenty of results clarifying what it means in this case.
