When the Dem consultant class and Gavin Newsom slur us queer folks as โculturally [ab]normal,โ weโre not going to passively allow it or tell you itโs okay.
Itโs bigotryโtoward an 80+% constituencyโand itโll be called out as such.
The Dem consultant class is too busy slurring us queer folks, an 80+% constituency, as โculturally abnormal.โ
Smug little unqualified bigot.
I suggest the party think again if it imagines itโll just sour all queer people as โabnormalโ and then bully us into taking it with bullshit about โsingle issue,โ โpurity,โ โidentity politics,โ and the like.
FAFO
I donโt know which โconsultantโ thought it was cute to coin the bigoted term โculturally normal.โ But it shows a party that still canโt be trusted. And Gavin Newsom casually repeating it out loud shows a candidate too oily and stupid for the presidency.
The party banned queer donations in 1988. The party endorsed DOMA and destroyed queer military careers in the โ90s. The party proclaimed us unfit for marriage because โGodโ in 2008.
Whereโs the fucking thank you for the decades of queer indulgence?
The entitlement arrogance ends now.
Theyโre on notice.
Itโs surprisingly easy to refrain from slurring all queer people as โabnormal.โ If the party canโt manage that, then theyโll reap the consequences they deserve.
No more queer-punching. No more DOMAs. No more coddling anti-queer bigotry for votes.
Proceed AYOR.
Ezra Klein doing authoritarianism the right way.

Sincerely,
"Abnormal" Queer
Congratulations!
Because one breathtakingly corrupt US-installed shah was enough?
Nobody has to convince your toxic ass of anything.
If he wants my vote, heโll publicly apologize for slurring us all as โabnormal.โ
If Dems want to FAFO, Gavin Newsom should keep slurring an 80% Dem constituency of marginalized people as โabnormal.โ
Would be interesting to have had opinion data on World War I and the Mexican-American War.
Cis-het privilege blindness is part of the explanation.
This isnโt much better than your ridiculous first try.
Oh well, you donโt have much longer as a legitimate news outlet anyway.
Not just white supremacy and not just fascist shit.
A significant constituency exults when he inflicts pain on the same people they despise but lack any power to harm themselves. Akin to a kind of vicarious domestic violence.
Time for the EU to expel Hungary.
Try to be even more condescending next time. Itโs a great get-out-the-vote strategy. Ask President Bernie Sanders.
That has its limits, such as when Newsom casually slurs LGBTQ people as โabnormal.โ
Some will be bullied into voting g for him anyway. Others in this 80% constituency will refuse to participate in their own dehumanization. See also Harris and Gaza.
I have no intention of voting for Newsom until he apologizes for casually slurring the queer community as โabnormal.โ
How about if a smug politician slurs you as โabnormalโ for wanting antibiotics for your kid?
If you want to keep looking pathetic, you can keep trying this intellectual bullying.
Sorry, but your toddler mouth isnโt intimidating in the least.
Let me know when Newsom apologizes for slurring an 80% constituency as โabnormal.โ
A gay marriage stunt two decades ago doesnโt cut it.
No, youโre just going to have some anonymous ass try to bully you into silence.
Apartheid.
Genocide.
As an accused โabnormalโ person, I will not be funding, supporting, or voting for Newsom.
Because the word โelitesโ has no fixed meaning, it can just substitute for an actual argument. ๐
@theatlantic.com predictably losing its mind because a Muslim was elected mayor of NYC.
Those decades of โcancel cultureโ crusading against Black and queer kids taught them how to embrace bigotry.
