Holidays can be difficult for any number of reasons, and many people choose to downplay or opt out of them depending on their particular feelings around them. There’s nothing wrong with that.
That being said, are we really at this point?
So emblematic of where we are as a culture. I get it. Father’s Day hurts. Lots of us have wounds there. But JFC, it’s insulting to be thought this weak. Our enemies must be drooling. We’re not strong enough to handle **getting emails**, much less defending ourselves. pic.twitter.com/979ODFtNwr

It IS insulting to be thought this weak. If we can’t handle getting emails, how are we supposed to deal with more immediate and potentially more physically-harmful problems, like defending ourselves and our country?
It’s absurd to the point that it’s easy to wonder whether it’s real or not.
That doesn't seem real.

It doesn’t. Or it shouldn’t.
It’s a screenshot of an email I received a few minutes ago.

Apparently the Democrats aren’t the only ones who think this is a necessary option:
Door Dash sent this email on June 4th… pic.twitter.com/2rRQG5KZXW

It’s a trend. Got this one last week and was like WTF… too bizarre. pic.twitter.com/j1vATn2ZEq

We certainly hope it’s not a trend because if it is, it doesn’t speak well for what the Democrats and various corporations think the American citizenry are capable of handling.
Some are suggesting there’s a little more to it than just obviously insincere empathy:
This is just a way of getting email addresses that have a hot-button issue.

Yep you are correct. People fall for anything

This is a very hopeful possibility, as it suggests they have a specific agenda and aren't just assuming Americans are the most fragile people on earth.

That type of manipulation sounds a lot more like the Dems we know. However, given the way they constantly try to legislate every aspect of our lives for “our own good”, we actually do believe they assume Americans are the most fragile people on earth.
Regardless of the motivation behind the message, it’s not a great tone.
Pandering and being spoken down to is very insulting.

Yes. It is.

It is indeed.
