The font was chosen in an effort to make documents easier to read for the vision impaired.
So It’s Republican policy that the government must not, even in the smallest way, make life any easier for disabled people? And the government must not do nothing and leave in place something that already makes life easier for them, but must actively intervene to make it harder? Of course it is, but what the fuck is wrong with these people that they dedicate their entire life to getting into government so they can punch down and hurt others? How have they not even accidentally stumbled into being better than the worst they can be?
Its the culling of the herd. They feel they know best what the make up of the country should be. Its the same thing as eugenics. It makes sense if you think helping the disabled is a waste of resources.
How do you develop this point of view? How did people become convinced the h man was right? People are susceptible to propaganda. I heard the comments on popular sites about Taylor Swift being pro right after her last album was 25% astroturf. Heard from Phil Defranco on yt, there was a study.
Go look at the shit on truth social. I’ve met people that only look at the conservative part of the web, like fox news junkies of the last 25 years. They’re radicalized by astroturf, then hide in these echo chambers. Most of the discourse is directed by people with vested interest in political outcomes.
People I was friendly with were trying to say Charlie Kirk would have been a good president when he died. He was such a kind and selfless Christian, they say. I cant find anything defendable in his media output, but once you’re radicalized, its just about hitting the talking points. “Woke ideology.” “Trans mind virus.” “Communists and Socialists.” “Empathy is bad for our coutry.” Once you believe you’re surrounded by enemies, its easy to be manipulated by fear.
Surely if you want to kill disabled people, it’s a good idea to start by making them feel shunned and their lives extremely difficult first, no?
That way, a lot of them die off, lose their power and voice in society, and are way easier to purge when the time comes!
You can’t build a Christiofascist Oligarchy without obliterating a few societal eggs, after all!
Gotta hurt. Thats the policy.
Were the Epstein files too legible?
Most of them are published as they were written, so they aren’t affected by the government’s preferred font.
just watch them start publishing in wingdings
Ok Boomer
Reminder that Donald J. Trump fucks children and there is proof of this that they are trying to distract us from in order to protect him and the rest of the kidfuckers.
STAY ON POINT.
Oh they found that the font was helping someone. Can’t have that.
These people are such fucking trash…
Imagine being so much snowflake that a simple font upsets you. Words fail.
Ugh.
At least Arial exists. And Helvetica. But Times New Roman? What is this, English class in the early aughts? 12pt font, double spaced with one inch margins?
Hell, if you want wanna make America great again make it Courier; tech bros’ll think you’re coding but we know you really just want to take us back to late 1800s when typewriters and bad economic policy were in. Or maybe something appropriate for this administration, like Wingdings.
Times New Roman is disgusting
I have never in my life tied a font to politics or morality.
spoken like a Gill Sans user
𝕬𝖗𝖊 𝖞𝖔𝖚 𝖘𝖚𝖗𝖊 𝖆𝖇𝖔𝖚𝖙 𝖙𝖍𝖆𝖙?
Tis not the font but the fonter.
i mean you can’t spell calibri without lib. where’s your god now, atheists?
So this is 100 percent true, verifiable, by me. Just keep in mind this is the same admin that wanted to cut ‘frivolous spending’. Think for a minute the wasted development hours changing the font on every webpage on every portal that DoS uses. Seriously, it’s fucking stupid.
This has got to be one of the dumbest things I’ve ever heard.
They should ban toilet paper, it’s too woke.
TP is gay as fuck. Rubbing your own ass is sin. Didnt you know? On reddit there were a couple of posts about redneck guys not wiping their own shitty ass, as it is gay to touch anus or anus be touched. The brainrot is frightening, yet fascinating with this sample group of institutionalised uneducation, xenophobia, egoism and patriachal focused propaganda.
Anus be touched sounds like a country music song
Imagine being scared of your own butthole ffs!
Times New Roman is wayyyy too classy for Trump Administration. They should switch to Comic Sans MS.
…Oh no, I’m re-heating font jokes that people older than me found funny decades ago. What has this present political climate reduced us to?
Nah, should be Papyrus, it pretends it’s a return to tradition but it’s really just ugly and racist.
OK I love that fonts stir up such strong feelings in people… but racist? How tf is papyrus racist?
I’m mostly kidding with that one. It’s a tiny fraction of why that Chinese takeout font is racist, it’s (very lightly, in the case of Papyrus) the way a foreign script looks to someone who doesn’t actually understand how to read that foreign script rendered as a latin alphabet. Like yeah, I guess that’s a valid argument but I am in no way cancelling papyrus and nobody should care about this argument, lol.
I thought you were kidding but I just had to know lol. Like to make a case for Papyrus being racist you’d firstly have to say who it’s being racist towards, and it’s just a bit… vague… for that. Na’vi maybe?
don’t you know they write
on[with] papyrus in Egypt and therefore it’s african and african means black especially in statesia.we don’t write in black, we write in charcoal. because black just makes me look whiter.
that’s the best i can think up, sorry.
Papyrus? Are you kidding me? There’s no place for that in a professional office setting!

Times New Roman is precisely what Trump admin wants. You know, since the far right has a hard on on the Roman empire.
Don’t forget there also fucks kids and they are protecting him.
i wouldn’t argue with comic sans personally. i hear it’s a good font for some types of dyslexia. i’d rather have more people be able to read it than look dignified.
There are other even more dyslexic-legible fonts that IMO look better
“Adolf Hitler bans Gothic font from Nazi publications for being too Jewish”
Man, I fucking hate how much history rhymes
Time is a flat circle that only consists of about 100 years.
What. An. Idiot.
Must be a slow day in the state department…
