They aren't even name calling. Republicans make up names for everything to remove critical thinking, and undermine the other person by invoking hate.

We're just saying we find theyre weird and creepy.

37? times convicted felon, twice impeached former president Donald Trump isn't name calling either.

37? times convicted felon...

You're probably thinking "Clerks," but the mistake is understandable. Similar subjects.

Those are adjectives. It’s not name calling.

Orange Julius, the extremely bizarre racist rapist and his culty base of weird pedophiles who support Dershowitz, Musk, Trump, Matt Gaetz, etc.

Republicans have been name calling and employing underhanded tactics against their opposition for decades. It is about damn time that they get a taste of their own medicine. They don't know how to react because this is the first time it actually happened (as opposed to their delusions that they were always on the defensive).

Finally? What about "fascist"?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

They don't seem to squirm in the same way when people call them that.

Yeah, fascist is so ridiculous and over the top you can just dismiss it.

Weird, you can actually make memes about weird. I've seen a lot of stuff involving the drag last supper. There's more to be done with weird.

You can't really just dismiss it — it's accurate. But it doesn't seem to resonate in the same way.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 month ago

Yeah, we breathe air and drink water, just like fascists do!

It was never anything more than fear mongering to keep the voters in line.

Also, you can meme weird. Harder to do fascist
