Those are adjectives. It’s not name calling.

"Idk man that guy is kinda weird"

Publication: Liberals are finally stooping to the conservative playbook!

Meanwhile former president has mocked a disabled journalist and been openly racist and misogynistic.

Buttigieg said about Vance "He is... odd" and it was enough. It was perfect it felt like a scorch

They aren't even name calling. Republicans make up names for everything to remove critical thinking, and undermine the other person by invoking hate.

We're just saying we find theyre weird and creepy.

37? times convicted felon, twice impeached former president Donald Trump isn't name calling either.

37? times convicted felon...

You're probably thinking "Clerks," but the mistake is understandable. Similar subjects.

TRY NOT TO COMMIT ANY FELONIES ON YOUR WAY THROUGH THE PARKING LOT!

Accurate too.

Orange Julius, the extremely bizarre racist rapist and his culty base of weird pedophiles who support Dershowitz, Musk, Trump, Matt Gaetz, etc.

Republicans have been name calling and employing underhanded tactics against their opposition for decades. It is about damn time that they get a taste of their own medicine. They don't know how to react because this is the first time it actually happened (as opposed to their delusions that they were always on the defensive).

Cr.cr.cr.reEEpy and the WEiRdO!!!! (Booming radio voice...) next up on KKKRR your favorite racist radio channel!!

[–] Auzy@beehaw.org 5 points 2 years ago

They're not wrong.

The sad part is since Trump, I've found a lot of right wingers are also acting weird.

They're not even trying to be otherwise. Like even stupid stuff like being obsessed with gas stoves and talking absolute nonsense about induction.

They're just all shouting out nonsense hoping it sticks after being inspired by Trump doing the same

Finally? What about "fascist"?

[–] silence7@slrpnk.net 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

They don't seem to squirm in the same way when people call them that.

[–] Kaboom@reddthat.com -1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yeah, fascist is so ridiculous and over the top you can just dismiss it.

Weird, you can actually make memes about weird. I've seen a lot of stuff involving the drag last supper. There's more to be done with weird.

[–] silence7@slrpnk.net 4 points 2 years ago (2 children)

You can't really just dismiss it — it's accurate. But it doesn't seem to resonate in the same way.

[–] Kaboom@reddthat.com -2 points 2 years ago

Yeah, we breathe air and drink water, just like fascists do!

It was never anything more than fear mongering to keep the voters in line.

[–] Kaboom@reddthat.com -2 points 2 years ago

Also, you can meme weird. Harder to do fascist
