Fuck I didn’t think the libs would be able to do it… There’s reactionaries posting shit like… ‘how are we wierd?’ And seemingly genuinely butthurt.

They should have been taking this strategy a long time ago instead of always acting mortified. I think chuds relish when they horrifying the people they don’t like.

    Someone else said it, but reactionaries see themselves as normal. You can’t be weird, and be normal.

    They think they’re the ‘in group’ in DEI speak. To them, they’re normal for the beliefs that horrify others. Being called weird by a critical mass of people establishes them as the ‘out group’ and stigmatizes the things that comprise their identity.

    It also doesn’t hurt that democrats are highlighting JD Vance as the face of republican weirdness. That insult aimed at Trump would only be effective until Trump declared himself weird and put a $50 bumper sticker on his online store that says “Weird” in bright red letters.
