So I see the usual suspects trending on Twitter

I am not going to type their names because I refuse to give them the relevance they seek, nor will I click on their hashtag...if you follow politics, news, or social media you know then though....it’s the same people who are always trending at times like these, the same right wing white males, or the “I got off the Democrat plantation” black people.....saying or tweeting something controversial just to get attention....but unfortunately it works because their critics engage them and get up in arms of what they said....the best way for these people to go away is to just to ignore them

Sometimes I go to the trending tab to see what’s happening and saw the usual suspects hashtags trending....didn’t click on the hashtag though because I already knew it was something controversial they said to get attention
