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.

So what? The reason they do it with conservatives is because they shit their pants over it. There’s nothing weird about being against genocide, so why should I care if they call me that?

There’s no “conservative homosexuality” and “progressive homosexuality” unless it’s class related. Meanwhile, weirdness is not exclusive to lonely gay weeaboo emos. People here posting about piss and shit are weird, but the people drawing wojaks pissing and shitting in each other’s mouths on 4chan as political commentary are even weirder.

Saying Putin and Trump are gay lovers is weaponizing something irrelevant because it has no factual basis, and even if it did, liberals would still be bigoted (If they were gay lovers, them simply being lovers should be the primary concern because that’s a conflict of interest). It’s no different than calling someone “weird” for being against genocide - no factual basis. But calling someone weird for being obsessed with children’s genitals, marching in Dallas to await the second coming of RFK, and having muscular trump flags is simply reality. You’re literally stating a basic observation. How else would you describe this behavior?
