Man, the Post is filled with dumpster fire hot takes lately. That editorial board is cringey as fuck.

Tell me you spend too much time on reddit and can communicate only through used-up memes without... oh, shit, you know

The editorial board of the Post has been cringy for a long time. One of my favorite cringe editorial was in the 2000s, when they praised Pinochet. It was their "right-wing dictatorships are great!" editorial that they bring out now and then. It was so disgusting.

So yeah, the Post has decades of making horrible editorials

I feel like it's always a good sign when people on the left think a paper is too right wing, and people on the right think it's too liberal.

If they ran an editorial saying how Stalin was tough, but industrialized USSR, I would feel the same way.

Some of these things go beyond team rivalries

Luckily for you there's plenty of papers and channels out there that can tell you exactly what you want to hear without ever risking exposing you to an opinion you might disagree with.

Oh, dear. I have been defeated by your debating skills. You, are a word warrior of the internets.

Right before you die, instead of thinking about family and friends, you can smile and think, "I won an internet argument somewhere against someone because they thought supporting dictators was wrong. I showed them!"
