Finally? What about "fascist"?

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.

Also, you can meme weird. Harder to do fascist

[–] Kaboom@reddthat.com -2 points 3 months 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.
