I’m so bothered by all of the people who are supposedly on the ‘good’ side who use these things against their political opponents:
-
@colorblindcowboy @skinnylatte @albnelson totally - as visual impairment is not something to mock someone over and also a good reason someone shouldn't be driving, so dementia is not something to mock someone over and also a good reason someone shouldn't be governing a country.
I mean, Trump shouldn't have been governing a country all along but that's because he's a terrible person.
@dragonfrog @colorblindcowboy @skinnylatte Absolutely. And the mockery and shame makes it harder to talk about for everybody. It's one of the many unfortunate aspects of the whole discourse around Trump *and* Biden. We should all be talking about cognitive decline in an open and honest way, but instead it's become just another rhetorical weapon.

Also makes me so annoyed that people like to suggest punitive immigration measures against immigrants they don’t like. Yeah, denaturalize Elon, surely he lied.
I hate that guy. But I know who won’t lose in that type of immigration enforcement: those guys.
Who will lose: immigrants with less power.
Many of the escalations that we are seeing now come from ‘softer’ immigration measures. The whole social media vetting thing came from Dems previously giving in to demands to immigration enforcement. Guess what the other team just did to vastly expand that

Are you trying to draw a ven diagram of 'how to describe Trump'? /jk
But seriously, amongst all those not-great ways to shame someone, a lot of us use these metrics because we find it funny how much they want to come off as 'beautiful, smart, fit, capable' but are so diametrically not-that. It's just funny, they call others paedophiles, turns out they don't mind burying a few kids out back in the field.
It's just so hilarious. Murder rape clowns are real, in the stupidest way.
@Madagascar_Sky @skinnylatte They don't care about the hypocrisy. All you're doing is telling those of us who fall into those categories that your acceptance of us is conditional at best or that you would make fun of us if you could get away with it and not be shamed by other leftists.

@skinnylatte I block so many people for this. It is too exhausting to wade through. I don't feel like I'm losing out on any community or information by doing so, either.

@skinnylatte I saw this with Bovino, like yes, he's a genuinely terrible person who has said and done terrible things, and should be criticized for them, but what does making fun of his height even achieve other than alienating other *GOOD* people.

@skinnylatte i was just griping about this— it makes me so frustrated to see some of my closest pals jump on this rhetoric, like they’re so clever and witty and isn’t it fun to bully people who deserve it??? and i have no idea how to start the conversation on why this isn’t ok?
it’s all just a distraction and keeps the working class divisive. where will defectors turn to when they’re ready to change their mind? shame thrives in the darkness.

@skinnylatte I just want him arrested, not denaturalized. Fucker has committed a ton of crimes, we don’t need to use immigration against him

Also ableism, transphobia, homophobia, sexism etc are suddenly supposed to be okay when used to make fun of horrible people?
No! Never! That's how you normalize that shit. -

I think this is right. We should embody the values we espouse.
The harder times to do that are when a derogatory opponent seems to be throwing stones in their own glass house. The temptation can be to 'demonstrate' the inconsistency rather than simply point it out.
Though even that is probably not an effective tactic, since they often don't care.
