Ted Cruz recently took to Twitter to post his supportive thoughts about net neutrality, in a potentially offensive and condescending way. In the tweet, he calls people who believe "online propaganda" surrounding the decision "snowflakes."
Snowflake, believing online propaganda: "OMG w/o net neutrality, the Internet is gone!" Informed observer: "You know, the FCC issued that rule in 2015. The Internet grew up wonderfully free from govt regulation & this restores the status quo ante." Snowflake: "Uh, never mind..."

He then responded to Mark Hamill, who has actively spoken against the decision to eliminate net neutrality, telling him to "reject the dark side."
.@HammillHimself Luke, I know Hollywood can be confusing, but it was Vader who supported govt power over everything said & done on the Internet. That's why giant corps (Google, Facebook, Netflix) supported the FCC power grab of net neutrality. Reject the dark side: Free the net! https://t.co/nARkMvIEYk

Hamill responded to Cruz, dragging him for spelling his name incorrectly and for "smarm-splaining." He told the politician "Maybe you're just distracted from watching porn at the office again."
Thanks for smarm-spaining it to me @tedcruz I know politics can be confusing, but you'd have more credibility if you spelled my name correctly. I mean IT'S RIGHT THERE IN FRONT OF YOU! Maybe you're just distracted from watching porn at the office again??-mh https://t.co/nHpJVG1Wpe
