Imagine being in 2018+7 and after finally abandoning the sewer of the internet and moving to barely-an-improvement Bluesky, you take a screenshot of your Bluesky post, open the bane of civilization, the killer of democracy, the Guantanamo Bay of the digital world, motherfucking Facebook and pretend like you're an upstanding, principled citizen.

Oh, but actually his post is the lowest of the low, making potshots at the sheep instead of addressing the policy itself. Declaring English the official language is the virtue-signaling of the right. Nobody cares about the actual goal, implementation or effects of such a declaration; the politicians and their voters and Steve here only care about the optics.

Well, Steve Hoffstetter is a professional comedian, and his FB posts are to drum up interest in his live shows.

I use FB quite a bit, but then I don’t engage with it for news. It really is just for keeping in touch with friends.
