Fuck I didn’t think the libs would be able to do it… There’s reactionaries posting shit like… ‘how are we wierd?’ And seemingly genuinely butthurt.

They should have been taking this strategy a long time ago instead of always acting mortified. I think chuds relish when they horrifying the people they don’t like.

It’s a very effective strategy against fascists, I just never expected the Democrats to start treating Republicans like a real threat.

100%, fascism is all about the image of seriousness, solidarity, and the struggle against the perenially weak but ever-existentially-threatening Enemy, and the pageantry and horseshit required just cannot accept ridicule. It’s why media like The Producers works at all, and it’s weird nobody in power thought to just ridicule these people, but i’ve been doing it as much as i can in real life and it works every time

It’s also why Christofascists were so triggered by the Olympic opening ceremony. Can’t have even a whiff of mockery spoil your aesthetic.

I don’t think they are. What I think is that this is a fluke. They found something that works and they’re just going to use it until it stops working.
