The stupidity and confidence to post this, incredible.


"Fuck Your Feelings" was strongly and rapidly adopted as a slogan by Trump campaigners in 2019. Prior to that it wasn't strongly used in a political context, instead used nonpartisanly as disparagement of ones opinions in general. It didn't come "from the left".


Can you substantiate this?

The only reference I can find before Trump is the lil Wayne song that came out in 2014:

Before that nothing:

The internet is filled with pictures of Trump supporters wearing flags that say "Fuck your feelings" though.

So I'm wondering what evidence you've come across that this phrase came from the left.
