If an excess of pussyhats, cardboard vaginas, fake period blood and inane profanity weren’t enough to convince you the Sharia law advocate-led Women’s March is completely unhinged, here’s another offering for the pile: now, they think word counts are racist.
In an ill-fated tweet barfed into the interwebs Tuesday, the Women’s March took issue with Twitter’s decision to expand its current 140-character limit – long the foe of many a wordsmith – to a more generous 280-letter max. Unfortunately for the social media site, their otherwise banal decision caught the ire of the Banshee Brigade, who immediately shrieked that the new expanded character count will help white supremacists spread racist propaganda.
#280Characters is 280 characters too many to spread white supremacy. https://t.co/UCgAYjLo1m

Thankfully, the American public isn’t quite as obtuse as the Women’s March might hope.

Whenever I read these insane tweets by @womensmarch, I suddenly get the appeal of identifying as a man.

The Women’s March might be upset with Twitter’s new character count, but it took a lot fewer than 280 letters for them to prove they’ll get pissed at just about anything.
