While we're at it, I'm not super happy with the whole "Ted Cruz has no balls" thing

Y'all, Ted Cruz is an awful gremlin of a human being, and that has nothing to do with his genitalia, which has nothing to do with his moral backbone or courage or whatever
There's still this tendency in a lot of left-of-center circles to publicly engage as loudly as possible in insults that are demeaning to a lot more than just right-wing sewer monsters

You do not need to uphold toxic masculinity to take issue with the right
I'm not even saying don't ever ever ever talk back to them, just know that when you insult Donald Trump for being fat, or say Ted Cruz has no balls, you're telling other people that they are less than human for those same things
Find ways to talk about these right wing ghouls that do not also put down a bunch of decent people around you
