That's how they deal with everything. After Jan 6, everything was an insurrection. After the GOP pedos are labeled as groomers, everyone's a groomer. After they get called weird, everything is weird.

It's rule #1 in the conservative playbook.

That's why I think using a word that isn't as strong like "weird" is so good, it's more effective against this tactic.

Democrats have slowed the flow of dishing out "weird", at the DNC they basically reserved that word just for Tim Walz and maybe one or two other speakers. However, Republicans keep calling themselves out as weird when trying to label totally normal things as that. They effectively are keeping that representation alive to their own detriment.

Which is perfect, because they are weird and don't actually understand what normal people think is weird.

So now they are weird and desperate, desperately claiming everything is weird - except it's only weird to them, which confirms that they are weird, which makes them even more desperate to not be perceived as weird, and continues to push them into even weirder territory.

A normal response to being called weird when doing something relatively normal is generally indifference/acceptance - but aggressively pushing back (their only play) simply confirms the accusation has merits.

Drown these weirdos in their weird behaviour, weird understanding of relationships, and their weird perception of the world.

The party of "Us VS Them" is slipping into "them" territory because the "Us" group will never own that label, and there is nothing they can do about it, because it's objectively true.

Labeling this weird is the weirdest fucking thing I can think of right now.

I kind of feel bad for them... They likely have zero idea what a healthy relationship looks like. They see innocent expressions of love, and they think "that's not right".

Coulter probably watched "The Green Mile" and cheered when John Coffey was executed.

It is totally hitting them where they live, because that's what conservatives are, weird.

I think it's clear that since conservatives don't have children that love them because they treat them like garbage,they are completely unfamiliar with a positive emotion towards a parent and thus think it's a communist plot.

For "conservatives" it definitely is. They only know hate and resentment.

My dad won a local town council seat and I got a little choked up with pride. It's a totally normal reaction for people who love their parents.

I agree. They're so weird, conservatives. Like that's what you have to complain about, a kid getting emotional?

I had no idea who Tim Walz was before this. I'm over in the UK, so that's no wonder, but it seems like many Americans didn't know of him either. He seems like a pretty cool dude who was beloved locally, but not well known on the wider stage. Now people all across the US and the rest of the world are learning of him and are genuinely feeling a bit more hopeful about the US. You're God damn right I'd be crying.

Please let's cancel her.

Emotions are for commies.

Do you have a moment to talk about our Lord and Savior the guillotine?

A lot of them are telling on themselves. They don't know what it's like to have someone be proud of them.

I will go on every social media post she makes and tell her she's trash.

It's sometimes really hard to get our neurodivergent youngin to sit down and let us cut his hair. Maybe they have similar struggles

Teenage Riot would be so disappointed in what we've become
