It doesn’t work, only voting works.
Are you implying that calling people names sways votes? Because then it doesn’t matter what the Dems call him, Trump will get every single “undecided” vote for the next century. No one calls people names as much or as bigly as he.
It can work. You only need to peel off a few of the normal people and blunt his momentum. While as always you do need the rest of the population to turn up and vote.
Trumps greatest fear would be dancing up on stage at a rally and having the audience silent then slowly start laughing at him when he starts talking his nonsense.
Like the UN did.
The emperor has no clothes. He is weird.
I don’t disagree with the sentiment, but I just don’t see it changing any minds. I fear that anyone who could be convinced not to vote for Trump because he’s “weird” will be just as easily convinced not to vote for Harris for some equally vague, trivial reason. I say focus on the issues where Democrats can actually have an advantage, and leave the shit-flinging to the troglodytes that live in it.
Use the ol’ timey word for it and call them queer. Start referring to conservatives as “the queers” just to troll them
The actual queers are gonna hate that. Maybe they can call another queervention (or was it queervalcade?) and get back to us on using it for trolling.
Hopefully one of their ambassadors will swing by and share an opinion. My Gay Agenda says, “In usage of the word “queer,” stay where you are and wait for help.”
Stop using queer as a bad word. The word you are looking for to describe Trump and the other magas is “pedophile”.
I don’t like that either. There are receipts for Trump, so that can stick, but using “pedophile” as a broad pejorative against people I disagree with politically (no matter how severely) requires me to separate that word from what it actually means (people who are sexually attracted to children), and as someone who actually gives a shit about harm reduction and justice for victims of sexual abuse, I’m not willing to stoop to the level of obfuscating the language we use to talk about those things.
This is no different than the right wing adopting “groomer” to mean “anyone who I think intrinsically harms children” (usually queer people working in education or childcare), actively destroying the very valuable vocabulary we have for describing the criminal social manipulation sexually abusive adults can use on children to get them to do what they are told.
Just because “pedo” is the nastiest thing you can call someone doesn’t make it acceptable to cry wolf about such a profoundly serious thing, no matter how much you hate the person you’re insulting.
As a bisexual British person I absolutely support the idea of returning queer to it’s classic meaning. There’s also the option of just using both meanings. Context will establish which one you mean.
The Republicans are a right queer bunch, unlike my fellow queers in the LGBTQ+ community.
Capitalizing Queers to mean our friends and lowercase queers as the descriptor for these weirdos might be a simple distinction as well.
I can’t wait for the killing blow of when Harris is accused of being weird, hopefully by Trump himself, and she responds by saying of course she’s weird, everyone is a bit weird.
That’s the normal response to being accused of being weird. The weird response is to get defensive and start slinging school yard comebacks, because in the back of your mind you know your weird is using furniture to masturbate or to have sexual thoughts about your own children.
Silent? They never shut the fuck up.
I think pretending there are A LOT of people like you that want this specific thing that is kind of weird is an attempt to appeal to authority of slightly more invested in politics “masses”. If someone tells a conservative and disconnected corn farmer that ALL conservatives care about that trans thing and that it’s a danger to your style of life, and that they mutilate children, then they might not check if any of that is true. Just assume that someone did, since apparently all their conservative friends are in on it. And you might just make a fool out of yourself if you ask any questions, since you know you don’t really belong with “silent conservative majority” because unlike them you’re not invested in politics and didn’t do your research… So you better keep your mouth shut and go along with the flow. Same thing with facism. Also preys on embarassed ignorance of the “silent majority” …imo
