Not gonna lie the whole "republicans are weird" thing low-key kinda reminds me of the "Trump and Putin are TOTALLY GAY FOR EACH OTHER! I bet Putin totally f*cks him in the a**" discourse (hexbear.net)

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.

Idk, I can kinda see the sinister part if I really squint hard, but being a maga-brain is fucking weird and should be socially unacceptable. Getting that discourse into the mainstream is good even if the ghouls are also saying it.
