He made a joke which offended no one but you.

It was a fucking shitty joke. Not even a joke, it was cowardice at its best.

Same as you honestly.

assume you know very well these kids' emotions are being exploited for political gain

Yes, it is sad that these kids are trying to not get shot. Poor kids being exploited and asking for a bit more thinking on some shit.

Not like adults aren't exploited constantly. Or cry wolf or say we can't talk about it.

Dud please, I'm in my 30s and can see your argument is weird. Ah yes all these kids are younger than me so they are being exploited! For what you say, so they don't get shot. And so they grow up not voting for Trump. Not that I'm assuming you did.

Ugh, I'm too drunk for dealing with this bs. The joke was shit, just acknowledge that.
