Punching up is not the same as punching down.
Trump was born into wealth and sits in one of the most powerful positions in the world, and regularly uses his platform to attack the most marginalized groups.
@alice@lgbtqia.space mostly post messages of affirmation and support, with an occasional post punching up. (Also lock picking posts. Those a cool too!)

@eric@geldmacher.io @zzeligg@ruby.social @alice@lgbtqia.space Also, the underlying basis of Alice's post is a true fact, one of considerable public concern. Trump, arguably the most powerful person in the world, with an enormous platform, has, in fact, been found liable for sexual assault. Reminding people of that with humor in the form of a topical visual joke isn't unfair or lopsided. It's an important type of political commentary.
