They are the most sensitive snowflakes on the planet. Just tell them what your pronouns are and watch them explooooooode.
They’re just doing the same thing they always do when they have no substance - culture war bullshit. It doesn’t matter to them; it’s all about attack attack attack. It’s been part if their core strategy since at least Newt Gingrich.
Is anyone really surprised their first attack is a punch down?
Within moments, several right-wing accounts posted the same video from 2022: a video of Vice President Harris sitting at a table and addressing a group of people, where she introduces herself by listing her pronouns and describing her clothing. She says, “Good afternoon, I want to welcome these leaders for coming in and having this very important discussion about some of the most pressing issues of our time. I am Kamala Harris, my pronouns are she and her, and I am a woman sitting at the table wearing a blue suit.
Curious, why did she describe her clothing, exactly
For vision impaired people.
ERRRRHMAHGAWD, now I understand why the right is so upset…the horror of being decent to others!
/me staggers to fainting couch, clutching pearls and clawing at some smelling salts…
How dare our leaders have empathy towards others?
Only the most ruthless, puppie-murdering sociopaths are fit to rule. And the more narcissist they are, the more I trust them.
Oh oh oh That’s cool
That video would make me want to vote for her even more. Good on those trolls to further her election campaign.
I couldn’t stomach it, but I fantasize about running as a GOP candidate and once elected doing the opposite of what that party wants.
I’ve thought this exact thing as well. Why do Manchin and Sinema get to have all the fun?!
For any MAGA conservatives seething about this type of thing, my go to response is, “whether you’re right or not, isn’t it better to be good to each other?”
The most insidious effect of right-wing propaganda is not any specific issue, it’s that it’s trained half the country to change the metric for life from being “good” to being “right.”
Nevermind that they’re wrong, but if they at least tried to be good, to be considerate of their neighbors and they people around them, there would be hope talking to them. Fox News has trained that out of them completely.
Their empathy and compassion do not extend past their own “tribe.”
It is a mistake to think that reactionaries have a value system based on morality; the closest they come to this is confusing it with their highly tuned feeling of disgust for people who are different from them.
To a reactionary, the highest “moral” good is to fit in your box and fulfill the role that society has dictated for you.
It’s why they’re calling Harris a “DEI” hire: the implication is that she jumped her station and so doesn’t deserve to be president. It’s why they said Obama isn’t an American: to attack his legitimacy.
They simply cannot help themselves, and it’s why Harris is anathema to them: their focus on identity politics means she cannot be legitimate because they don’t actually care about her qualifications but instead on how much of an insult to white men her election would be.
They don’t want to be “good,” they want all the people they hate to be put back in their place. It’s what reactionaries always do.
