I've heard people calling these freaks "creepy weirdos" for years (for instance: bluegal on The Professional Left has pointedly used that phrase). I'm just glad to see it being take up much, much more broadly.
Because the creepy freaks that are xtian nationalists ARE weird. Very, very weird.
The incel/manosphere portion of the qons was never going to react well to being called out.
It's keeping them off balance. They were already thrown off by the switch in candidates. Keep them this way for the next three months, and Democrats will win. The alt-right doesn't play defense, but they've been forced to the last few weeks. They're really bad at it.
Things that we know about that will help:
These might not be enough on their own, but they're the one's we know about. Keep hammering "weird" and take other opportunities, and there you go.
"If you're going to accuse someone of having sec with a couch, you better have video." Is the weirdest way to ask for AI generated JD porn ever.
I am begging someone to do this for the memes
What a weird response...
They are just so fucking weird.
What's so weird about checking people's genitals before they're allowed to use the bathroom?
In rural areas, being normal is the highest priority. If you do one thing that's 'weird' that thing will define you in that community for the rest of your life. You'll never escape the weird thing you did. Your life is over.
"I've been farming this land for decades, do they call me Vance the Farmer? No.
"I built that bridge with my own two hands, do the call me Vance the Bridge Builder? No.
"But you fuck one couch..."
Have you lived in a rural US area?
Yes.
I immediately achieved a reputation as the nerd who hung out at the Mom&Pop bookstore/coffee shop in town, did computer repair for half the price of the Geek Squad, and shared extremely "weird" ideas about politics with anyone that dared to ask.
Never did lack for business, but folks stopped talking to me about politics after I ranted to the local Republican party chairman that the Tea Party was just a bunch of rich assholes trying to astroturf them into lowering their taxes at everyone else's expense.
I was right, of course, but it was a red county in a red state and nobody around wanted to hear it. XD
Reported for attempting to dox me
lmao
Uh ok.
So - no.
Lol, I've lived in rural Ontario which has informed me opinion. I know in places like Alaska or Appalachia they embrace their strangeness, but those are the exceptions.
Yeah, you fuck one couch and people just never shut up about it.
I feel like I really need "Weird" Al's take on this.
He dropped the Deja Vu (But Worse) video on youtube about a month ago. It's all about Biden vs Trump again and uses lots of debate footage. Since Biden dropped out, the video is no longer particularly topical. But think about it, there's a new candidate going against Trump and the democrats are calling the republicans weird which has to strike a chord with him. Al has to be in a room somewhere scribbling down lyrics, assuming he's not already in the studio recording something. I can't wait to hear what he comes up with. Sadly, he works very hard to be apolitical so I doubt he'd put out anything leaning too far to the democrat's side of the court.
I would absolutely kill for a Weird Al parody of "Not Like Us" about how deeply and toxicly creepy and weird these rightoid freaks are.
He’s got plenty of aluminum foil to go around
