[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s ableism.  As a liberal with a commitment to disability rights it is horrifying how many liberals are comfortable using words that disparage people with disabilities to insult MAGA and people in the MAGA movement.

To be clear, the right does it too, but they are open about the fact that they do not care about disabled people.

Can you imagine if, in this current climate where women, LGBTQIA+ people, and POC’s are under attack, how you would feel if you heard someone insulting Trump by calling him a c**t, or a f****t, or a n****r?  It would feel awful.  And get people with cognitive disabilities who are at greater risk from this administration than any of those groups, regularly have to listen to people use low IQ, or mouth breather, or words that have the suffix -tard added to them.  Why on Earth would anyone think that is OK?

I have never seen or heard this term used for someone with an actual disability. It's usually an insult for someone acting like a total asho1e. You're reaching wayyyyyyy out there.[/quote]

Do you not see in this thread where people are talking about chromosomal differences and low IQ (both of which clearly are disability references) as connections they make with this term?[/quote]
