    lol ur right they’re finally bringing loser discourse into American politics

    mentioned this earlier (maybe diff thread) but they are SEETHING in the replies and it's honestly hilarious

    right wingers have never seethed at an insult like this before, no less one originating with "normies". it activates neurons in their brain like i don't think any other political insult has in recent history. they're legitimately more upset at being called "weird" than trump being almost JFK'd

    it makes sense when you think about it though. a lot of the "online right" (who these insults are aimed at - they're clearly aimed to draw division lines between the "online right" and "regular salt-of-the-earth conservatives" to bring the latter over the voting lines) are alienated young men who flock to what they see as offensive and radical politics to feel special and better than the average eperson or at least above accepted/changing social norms (a lot is post-hoc justification one way or another). a lot of this is of course rooted - often - in things like misogyny or mal-socialization (they can claim to be anti-porn but when their most followed accounts are s*** like "mid castiza of the day" or quasi-pornographic pictures of skinny blonde bimbos with swastikas on them it paints a different picture), despite many of them claiming to hate women they're addicted to female attention and trying to court it even if through negativity.

    calling them "weird" pisses them off because it incites legitimate actual psychosexual rage. in their head they want to pretend their opposition is just fat 500 pound blue haired gay people from a "(joe rogan guest) owns the left" compilation in 2012. they want to live in their twitter bubble where they're only arguing with furries with leftist-adjacent symbols in their bio and think that's what their up against. in reality it's normie white women who they idealize sexually. being called weird by these people is once again akin to them being the random guy in high school with weird ideas everyone is maybe nice to but thinks is a weirdo for their views; it completely strips the power they claim to have online and exposes them for LARPing

    its literally this

    Facts , the anonymity and customization that being online gives you allows you to be one of the cool kids in the club but it doesnt translate to real life where everyone can see you for who you are. U not a cute based anime girl in real life dawg, you are an out of shape white guy with a s***ty job and no goals

    Eh, it’s only been a week though, haven’t even had the DNC yet, nor a VP pick.

    Not to mention potential debates and the like.

    More weird Vance s***.

    Trump losing his s*** if Kamala continues to get bumps in the polls, embarrassing himself further as he tries to compete (like scheduling a rally in Atlanta just so he can try and meet and/or exceed Kamala’s current crowd size, which is not gonna happen lol).

    so, its pretty much down to Governor Shapiro or Mark Kelly, right?

    Based on the tweet I posted above — I think we’re at the point where it’s more realistic to say “it’s down to either Shapiro or a dark horse candidate”

    Kelly, Walz, Beshear, etc being a “dark horse” because Shapiro seems so likely rn
