I think it’s their physical appearance that is being referred to. Patel looks perpetually surprised and slightly off while Kirk looked like the witch doctor fucked up while shrinking his head.
That’s ableism. These people don’t look the way they do and don’t act they way they do because of any genetic disorder. They also aren’t going to fucking see this so the only people being insulted by this are people who are disabled, great job.
We’re talking about actual fascists here and you guys are insulting with eugenics and appearance ffs.
Thank you for saying this. We have more than enough reason to shit on these assholes for their actions and rhetoric; there’s absolutely no reason to use ableist language.
In a similar vein, I’ve seen a lot of “weaponized” homophobic language on Lemmy (often in regards to Putin and Trump). Like you say, the only people who get hurt by this are the random queer people who read these comments.
Yeah this is very apparent all over social media. It’s the consequence of liberals who think disagreeing with the overt fascism seen in MAGA allows moral purity in their actions. They don’t actually interrogate internalized values they hold from capitalism and settler-colonialism that devalues groups of people, they just know which groups are more or less “wrong” to target. They feel emboldened by a visible and decisive enemy, which makes them less self-conscious about the bigotry they foster uncritically.

👏👏👏 I am so sick and tired of people claiming “the gloves are coming off” and by “gloves” they mean their slurfilter
“Hrm. Why did only the face shrink? Was the cauldron too hot?”
This is the funniest thing I have read in a long while 😂🤣🤣
