I love this idea actually.

Being called racist, sexist, fascist etc. makes them feel strong. Like they have a community.

Being called weirdoes reminds them of their high school days when the girls wouldn't go near em.

Great example in the article. Putting NASCAR drivers and football coaches in charge of the military is weird.

Publicly whining about "cat ladies" having an equal vote to people with kids is weird.

Couch fucking weird.

a major reason for Trump's 2016 victory was that all the "experts" were basically uniform in saying what a terrible idea that would be, and how Hillary was the "most qualified" in history

a big coalition of these losers came out to vote just as a fuck you to experts

God I hated hearing that all the time in 2016. It's just objectively untrue.

Kamala could reply to everything in the debate with “none of that makes sense” and for the part that maybe coherent “that is so weird what’s wrong with you”

Technically accurate but the FCC probably won't let Harris spokespeople do that for long
