I am elevating this from megathread post to real post
I regret looking at X almost every time
This weird discourse has done actual psychic damage I think
Can someone make this make sense to me? Not uncritically adopting the weaponization of language traditionally, normally even, used to attack queer and neurodiverse people against less-lib American reactionaries by Democrats makes you a fed? It’s not a hill I would die but yeah
We are truly reaching levels of normality never seen before, regardless of how not weird and normal it is in many sections of society to be a turbo-reactionary
Have we entered a period where internet leftists and K-hivestandard internet left-libs become almost indistinguishable? I feel like I’m stuck in the event horizon of a terminally online singularity, spiraling toward a center of infinite onlineness
The most online people I have ever seen are telling other online people to log the fuck off, the 🥥🌴 usernames are joining with the 🍉🇵🇸 usernames in fed-jacketing people, the Democrat campaign is reposting dril tweets
We are cooked, the 
internet singularity consumes us all

I was actually amazed that calling conservatives weird worked at all. When I heard that Kamala Harris planned to call Trump weird if they debated, and that this was some kind of big strategy, I thought it sounded like the most toothless strategy I had ever heard. But now that I think about it, yes, they are weird, they’re some of the weirdest fucking people on the planet, and nothing hurts like the truth, so I guess I can kind of believe it. It’s still hard to imagine that the insult would hurt if you heard it from a lanyard, though.
As for it having an ableist or queerphobic resonance, that never really occurred to me. But I could see it morphing into that in the future if it lasts that long. Instead of an attack against conservatives it becomes some kind of “horseshoe theory” attack against the right and the left, and then all the queer and neurodivergent and disabled people on the left become “weird” too, while “normal” is a NATO-supporting warhawk neoliberal who wants to glass Ukraine and Palestine.
Fascists want to be normalized, being called weird makes them an out group and delegitimatizes their platform. It’s why being called scary or sociopathic is okay since that is seen as “being strong” towards the enemy.
