They say that pride comes before the fall and nowhere is that more true than online.
There’s something about the internet that encourages grandiosity, self-assurance, and arrogance to an incredible degree. It’s probably something about having some degree of anonymity, plus all the world’s accumulated knowledge at your fingertips, and a theoretical audience of billions to show off in front of.
Because of these factors, however, when a blowhard gets it wrong online or simply blows too hard, it’s only a matter of time before they become like the Post Office – publicly owned.
Luckily, for those of us in the Schadenfreude business, there’s a smirking corner of Reddit known as Murdered By Words that catalogs these glorious instances of cocksure posters being hoisted by their own petards.
Here are some of the best examples of public takedowns of 2020.
1. When Meghan McCain forgot she had neighbors…
2. When Tomi Lahren didn’t think before she said something (as per, 100% of the time.)
3. When Arnold was both savage and polite at the same time.
