I have to admit, I have been surprised at how well the "weird" tagging has gotten under the skin of MAGAts. It is simple and effective - they are fucking weird.

there's a real value to "weird," right now, too, because it strips our nation's supremacists of their normalcy, not because of who they are, but because of what they do. That is to say, demanding to be known as The Normal Ones specifically for their exclusion and bigotry, and to threaten punishment and abuse to any who refuse to comply with the strictures upon identity they define, or to recognize their license to grant permission. What makes "weird" so useful for the moment is that by framing supremacists as the abnormal ones, it triggers the exact behavior from them that is so fucking weird, reinforcing the framing, creating differentiators between those who celebrate weirdness and those who would eradicate weirdness, in ways that even complacent and unaware people can grasp.
What saying "weird" means in this context is that it's normal to want government to help people, and it is abnormal to want it to harm people. It's normal to be part of and to celebrate an ever-increasing diversity of identity, and it's abnormal to want to control and define everyone else's identity. And, crucially, it is dismissive of supremacy. It says to supremacists. "If you are going to behave in such a topsy-turvy and indecent manner, I will oppose you, but I will not take you seriously."

It took 12 hours and *members* of Trump's team to convince one voter to switch. They have a long road ahead of them.

Gee, it's almost like they feel unsafe expressing themselves anywhere else so it's all bottled up and comes out all at once the moment they're comfortable and surrounded by other like-minded people.

I wonder what could possibly be contributing to that? HMMmmmmm.

Of course, it's all the Leftists fault! :beatup:
I fucking hate how fucking dense these morons are with so much passion.

Like yo, it's not making it political, it's just natural that everyone is worried about how a bunch of fucking assholes are literally DESTROYING THE FUCKING WORLD for no real reason besides "to own the libs."

The ethical philosophy that the Star Trek universe was built on is inherently flamingly liberal. The characters, even that asshole Kirk, all champion diversity, education, compassion, altruism. Anyone who claims to be a Star Trek fan and is surprised that there is a strong anti-Trump attitude in the fandom, much less among the Hollywood actors (which are notoriously liberal) is not paying attention.

They just don't get it. "Smart and decent" is great. "Dumb and decent" is great, too. Heck, even "Smart and evil" is, at least, interesting. "Dumb and evil" is just repellent and I don't see any reason to tolerate it or even hang out anywhere near it. This turns out to mean that some members of my extended family will never see me again if I have anything to say about it. Too bad for them, but they've told me quite clearly who they are.

From four years ago:


The same thing applies to other popular franchises as well: the empire in Star Wars is obviously fascist, Jabba the Hutt is introduced as a murderous sex slug with rapist tendencies and gets strangled to death with the chains he puts on one of his victims, even the fucking Ewoks are an allegory for colonized people rising up against their oppressors. Indiana Jones is all about punching Nazis. The script for "Alien" starts with the words "the crew is unisex and all parts are interchangeable for men or women".

Killer Rittenhouse's statement reads as if it was written under duress - I wonder if Trump sent some Aryan Brotherhood types armed with baseball bats to his house.
