    Online people who chronically overuse the term "virtue-signaling" are, in a sense, signaling certain virtues by doing so. Which is ironic.

        In the end it's just another ad hominem, and a particularly smug one at that.

        Irony is lost on conservatives. They are both the rubber & the glue.

        There's always some who misuse or overuse terms like that, doesn't negate that there is some messed up mentality going on where ppl do it.

        We all signal certain virtues, obviously, your statements is very hollow. Signaling becomes dangerous when it puts power into bad hands

        Ie signalling the genuine virtue of not liking fakers. Not all virtue signals are equal, therein lies the error of your tweet,

        'support our troops' is virtue signaling.
