maybe im a sNoWfLaKe but i keep seeing libs throw “unelected african illegal immigrant” around regarding musk, thinking they’re “throwing it back at” conservatives or somehow proving them as hypocrites, as if conservatives even give a shit about their blatant hypocrisy. but to me it just reads like libs who have always wanted to say shit like that about immigrants but kept it in due to fear of social repercussions, and now they get to let loose on leon kums, kind of the same way they misgender caitlyn jenner, like “see THIS is how your fellow republicans talk about trans people”, as if jenner is ever gonna read their reddit post

the truth is that most libs genuinely do believe the right wing "they're just saying what everyone's thinking", they just add "but youre not supposed to say that"

absolutely no work done to remove brainworms

Using the phrase “…said the quiet part out loud” is kind of telling on yourself a bit.

I think it's useful in describing part of the dynamics with rhetorical dogwhistles, but it absolutely telling on oneself if one's only issue with bigoted language is that they didn't use the euphemism version.
