I don't always agree with debuk but this analysis is spot on. Why do progressives use gendered and queer-coded insults -- sissy, pansy, little bitch -- against RWNJs?

i keep having to block bien-pensant liberals & ostensible progressives who get sarcastic w/me for *politely* objecting to insults like "toothless" and "redneck." lemme just point out that the people actually ruining all our lives can afford dentistry & have never toiled outdoors in the sun jfc

the difference might be that the right was fighting a pretend war, in that no one on the left was actually trying to ruin their lives & potentially kill them. they might as well have been playing a video game but real torturers & killers now run the u.s. no wonder people want to run & hide
