What is up with these CAPS? Are we copying the typographic INCONTINENCE of Trump?
I have noticed people have changed the way they type since around 2016, when trump became president. The amount of people putting "Sad." Behind a sentence is mindblowing. He gave so many people severe brainworms.
I think a lot of that started ironically and then bled over to normal conversations.
I think it's still mostly used ironically. Though, it's hard to know anymore. I know it is among my social circles, at least.
