    “Politics has gotten way too lame,” he said, adding, “I’m not going to apologize for posting a joke, but I wish the best for Caitlin.”

    Then get out of politics, you fucking weirdo.

      This is the time to stop using weirdo and instead just say “piece of shit.”

        Nah, they’re resistant to that because their whole engine is fueled with hate. They have persecution and victim complexes. Calling them weird actually seems to affect them because their whole thing is parading around as if they’re the party for “average” aka “normal”(white) Americans.

          Not anymore. I think we overused it. We latched on to it because it seemed to hurt them, but now we’ve turned it into just another meaningless insult.

        No. Fascist WANT to be called pieces of shit. They WANT you to hate them. They can’t STAND being valued weird. That’s why it works. Fascist like being despised, it makes them feel powerful and important.
