rejoinder

Since the start of all this madness, I’ve seen the left offer a rejoinder to the snowflake charge: the slogan “ICE Melts,” usually accompanied by a drawing of the action at hand.

Burns tried to rectify this but succumbed to sentimentality, as foreign affairs columnist Patrick Lawrence explained in his 2017 rejoinder to the series and, well, my impression of it:

Falwell’s rejoinder: “Why don’t you have some murderers and bank robbers and so forth to represent?”

The rejoinder is, of course, that everyone who has died and will die because of institutions like UnitedHealthcare were people mourned by their loved ones as well.

In a perfect world, its success will be rejoinder enough.
