    Either the headline writer gleefully and enthusiastically believes this, or they can feel their soul being siphoned as they hold down the shift key to type another exclamation mark. I can’t decide which is more horrifying

      I'd say they are equally horrifying.

      If I was in public somewhere and I heard a person actually say "historic burn" unironically about something a democrat said - I'd be amused but horrified.

      If I was a writer and I was forced to use such language - I'd also be amused but horrified.
