 What’s your point? That people want to show symbolic solidarity for a person you don’t like? Who’s the stupid one? 
 My point is that this expression of symbolic solidarity is a stupid one. Do you find it... bright? 
 Brah, they already bought the ticket and the T-shirt. 

How much more symbolic solidarity we wanna show, orange spray tans for everybody? 

(Oh… what’s that? They’re doing that too?) 
 Symbolic representation is a hallmark of humanity, really one of the phenomena that make us different to the other fauna on Earth.
So would you call that….stupid? 
 That particular one, definitely yes 
 Good for you that you are so smart then.👍🏻 
 And I forgot; SOPHISTICATED😅 
 Thanks.
