    But like, "talk less, smile more" was the statement that was meant to tell you Burr's big character flaw. Why would they adopt that line as a good thing

    Like, Hamilton's dogshit, but if you're going to engage with it, at least do it better than that

      Bud I don't know what to tell you, these are idiots who will quote "Immigrants get shit done" out of nowhere and sound like insanely racist dipshits

        Oh I know. Like, remember that bit from Knives Out where the guy quoting that line was meant to make you cringe?

        Like, I know they engage with this on a really surface level, I just get so frustrated each time I see it, especially in a context like this where you'd imagine there'd be a bit of a vetting process to make sure the messaging was right. Fuck, it's not even surface level- Burr has an entire song where he explicitly talks about this being his flaw, it's right there explicitly in the text why would you adopt that line uggggghhhhh
