Snowflakes. Groomers. Cucks.
For years the MAGA movement has approached politics the way a bully would approach a schoolyard, sparring with labels so nasty, they seemed expressly chosen to appeal to the kind of people who stuffed nerds in lockers in sixth grade. And for years Democrats, abiding by the mantra to go high, not low, have responded by trying to be the adults in the room: defending themselves with facts, with context, with earnest explanations that nobody remembers (if they defend themselves at all).
The problem is that taking the high road only works if politics is a sport played mainly by people who act like grown-ups, which it is not. And also: Facts and context don’t make for particularly sticky messaging.
Enter: Weird.
Over the past two weeks, as “Brat” and coconut memes have taken over the internet and Kamala Harris inches closer to Donald Trump in the polls, the Democrats have finally gone low, deploying a bit of verbal jujitsu so delightfully petty it might just work.
What looks crazy and disingenuous to me is how you can’t answer simple, direct questions. It makes it look strongly like you’re arguing in bad faith.
You know what I find even crazier and more disingenuous? This user has scrubbed almost their entire history up to about 6 hours ago. Deleted a year’s worth of posts and comments, most of which are downvoted. Isn’t that just a little suspicious? I don’t think this guy was ever here to participate in good faith, and is trying to hide their past. Good thing Boost keeps records of deleted comments and posts.
