I'd posit that they feel looked-down upon and judged because in fact they haven't bothered to educate themselves about the real meanings and societal impacts of what these terms are referring to. And actually don't care to, because that would require an honest evaluation of their positions.
Or maybe they just don’t like it bc it’s weird
I'm not sure that actually negates my point.
Yeah i guess we are all just smarter than them
They don’t get it’s this attitude that turns off voters. These are the same people who demand THEIR VOTES “be earned!”
Look, the fact is that the country is being quite obviously burnt to the ground. It seems a stretch to say that those who still support this dangerous administration are doing so because their feelings are getting hurt by random Dems sometimes using wonky academic terms. 1/2
That's another smokescreen being thrown up to defend what they know is indefensible. But hey, if folks think that debating which terms we should and shouldn't be using and purging the latter from any public utterances is going to somehow move the needle, then go for it. Honestly, I'm skeptical. 2/2
I mean, we are. We should probably just accept the fact that we're trying to win over dumb people, and smart people aren't typically good at doing that.
Most people are just busy trying to raise their kids, pay the bills, & have a little fun. Not everyone has a lot of spare time.
This.
