I strongly disagree. Just because someone else doesn't uphold their end of the deal doesn't give you license to not uphold yours. That's where integrity comes in, and it's absolutely worth fighting for. Not to mention, slinging insults just pushes the other side to dig in and reject anything further you have to say. If someone thinks Trump has okay-ish policies but isn't sold yet, and you attack him over something completely irrelevant to his campaign, you're going to push that person into supporting him more strongly. But if you attack his policies and explain how they'll be bad for them/America, they may change their mind.
Insulting someone like Trump may feel good in the moment, but it's counter-productive.
Well, it typically does. That's how contracts are usually structured, to nullify on breach. Warranty void if seal is broken.
Which is explicitly illegal, and if you see it, you should report it so the company gets fined.
And contracts are generally not voided just because one party violated one part of the contract. Instead, there are consequences in place for such a violation, and the other party is justified in demanding restitution for that violation. In a "social contract," that means you're absolutely free to call that person out for the contract violation and seek redress (e.g. sue for defamation or whatever), but it does not justify you in jumping into the mud with them.
Hold the high ground and don't let them drag you into the muck with them.
