A variety of you folks sound nuts.
It’s unsurprising {that a} Donald Trump campaign ad that includes the tagline “Kamala is for they/them. President Trump is for you” was efficient within the 2024 presidential marketing campaign.
Certainly, a pro-Kamala Harris PAC says the spot, which featured a clip of Harris endorsing state-funded sex-change operations for prisoners, “shifted the race 2.7 share factors in Mr. Trump’s favor after viewers watched it.”
Now, one suspects most normies aren’t solely turned off by “they/them” as a result of it’s grammatically mystifying or scientifically doubtful.
For a lot of, “they/them” represents the 14,000 confused youngsters who have been mutilated by “gender-affirming care.”
For others, “they/them” represents 1000’s of women and girls who’re forced to compete with boys and males on the sphere.
For many, although, “they/them” might be only a microcosm of all of the bizarre cultural fads the Left has been attempting to normalize and force-feed society. Normies are likely to reject social science quackery.
People are typically completely happy to make lodging for various life. That doesn’t make these things much less weird or excessive.
And the pace at which the Left has demanded everybody deal with these unhinged notions because the norm is mind-blowing.
The opposite day, President-elect Donald Trump introduced the incoming administration would “ask Congress to go a invoice establishing that the one genders acknowledged by the US authorities are female and male, and they’re assigned at beginning.”
Twenty years in the past, perhaps even 10, most individuals wouldn’t have the slightest clue what he was speaking about.
Right now, a CNN speaking head will soften down on nationwide TV when Rep. Seth Moulton (D-Mass.) factors out that women and men are physically different — an undeniable fact that everybody on Earth agreed on till about 5 minutes in the past.
When Trump tapped Sen. J.D. Vance (R-Ohio) to be his operating mate, Democrats engaged in a concerted effort to painting the senator as some form of oddball.
Inform me, what’s weirder: Making a joke about cat girls on a podcast, or supporting legal guidelines that put tampons within the boy’s loos at colleges?
As a result of the latter was the work of flannel-shirt-wearing Gov. Tim Walz (D-Minn.), who as soon as signed a invoice empowering courts to strip dad and mom who refused to provide “gender-affirming healthcare” of custody.
After all, there are most likely larger components to clarify why Democrats misplaced in 2024.
The economic system is often essentially the most urgent subject for voters, and Democrats blew a slam-dunk restoration by cramming by a large crony spending invoice simply as inflation was rising.
That was simply self-destructive habits. Attempting to persuade us that dropping trillions into the economic system would ease inflation was additionally bizarre.
However that doesn’t imply cultural forces aren’t nudging just about each demographic and ethnic group away from Democrats.
One of many causes is that you simply folks sound nuts.
Your lingo can also be disconcertingly bizarre. “Latinx” is bizarre. Earnestly utilizing phrases comparable to “birthing particular person” or “pregnant folks” is so dumb.
Marching round in a pussy hat makes you appear to be an unhinged hysteric. And nobody believes you assume “The Handmaid’s Story” is an effective or prophetic guide.
It’s bizarre that you simply assume everybody who disagrees with you is Hitler. And it’s bizarre that you simply act like a joke about Puerto Rico heralds the approaching fascist state.
Normies aren’t loopy about language and decorum policing. And also you sound like a bunch of nags and prigs.
Maybe you’ve change into this fashion as a result of your leaders and activists hail from sprawling city areas the place folks maintain numerous unique views on intercourse, life and tradition.
Or perhaps it’s as a result of lots of them have been educated in elite establishments the place pseudoscience and cultural Marxism are all the trend.
Previously, these kinds of folks have been the butt of jokes. Right now, they’re directing White Home coverage positions.
Recall that one among Joe Biden’s first choices as president was compelling educational institutions that depend on federal funding to just accept organic male athletes in ladies’s sports activities. Does anybody consider this was a urgent concern of our octogenarian president?
Bear in mind when the White Home was draped in rainbow flags and when the administration argued it was crucial to inventory elementary college libraries with books about oral intercourse and gender dysphoria?
Pushing sexuality on youngsters is nefarious.
And bizarre. Very bizarre.
