2016 is sad, and I'm mad, etc, etc

[SpursforSix]

It's totally arbitrary and self indulgent. Saying that it started when Trump won is ing ludicrous.

I don't know about that.

[HI-FI]

Notice how all the crocodile tears over celebrity deaths are overwhelmingly coming from the dip liberals who can't discuss politics without referencing Harry Potter, Game of Thrones, and/or House of Cards in some way. "Hillary = Khaleesi! Slay, queen!"

They're a bunch of neurotic, shallow losers with nothing to fall back on besides the pop culture products they've always used as their subs ute for a social life. Much like how the shows they watch have become a proxy for them to attack their political opponents, celebrity deaths are a proxy for them to cry about their entire worldview getting rejected at the ballot box in 2016.

Damn.

To be fair, there's a difference between just being sad about a celebrity death and the " 2016" fad. The latter is just an excuse to use dead people as a political prop.

T-bomb as well. Trump trolled the Left into the most epic meltdown, who knows when it will end.

[Spurminator]

I don't know about that.

You're right, you probably don't.

[SpursforSix]

Ha.

Tbh, I don't remember seeing many 2016 memes until after the election.

That's cool. They were out there though.

Did Trump's election add to it? Sure. Besides impressionable saps like CN, nobody is really celebrating the fact that we elected a reality TV host and easily-triggered buffoon to the most important office in the country. Still, you reverse the election result and people would still be ing about old celebrities dying.

It's silly but it's not partisan.

Ok. I don't disagree. Lost a lot of icons this year. I do think the Trump win led to some piling on.

Any time someone on Facebook posts a " 2016 sucks" and lists every last ing dead celebrity, I'll usually troll with a " don't forget Scalia " post, which usually gets a hilarious "...welllll....i mean it is sad he died, butttttt...." response.

Damn that's some ing A+ troll work.

I'm more shocked at the mrsmaalox sighting

If ya read an author who dies you will miss this stranger, same with a recording artist**** or a movie star ya like. The fact you don't actually know these people means little.

I realize that is different than some old legend passing away. But if their death can be talked about at all on tv, the internet then that means that unlike you or me they made an impact on society. How many people can say that? So the death of someone famous/infamous will get our attention, how we deal with that is up to us.

*** the deaths of Jimi, Jim and Janis back in the day was a very big deal.
