Like I see some ppl saying that they are “taking back” the “weird” thing and using it against conservatives because they hate it. But that’s exactly the same reasoning that was used with the Trump Putin kissing shit. “Yeah we’re using it aGaInSt Putin!” It was still homophobic. And I get the same feeling with this “weird” shit.

Plus, do the liberals actually give a shit about “weird” ppl like LGBT, nerds, anime fans, social outcasts, etc.? Absolutely not. They are just weaponizing this shit. But when it no longer suits them, they’ll call anti-genocide Gaza protesters “weird.”

So anyways I’m not really up for celebrating the “weird” shit. It might be funny to see conservatives cringe (for the time being, for all we know this shit might blow over), but I just get icky vibes from the whole thing.

    It’s not about their education, it’s about refusing to give them ground to be shitty. It’s about being serious as an advocate.

    But what about my second question? Why are conservatives like Liz Cheney or Mitt Romney getting treated like heroic politicians by blue voters?

    There is a level of respect that liberals have for conservatives in the US.
