I mean, do people ever let little things like facts get in the way of calling other people names? In 2024, anyone you don't like is a rapist-homophobe-transphobe-nazi-pedophile-satan-worshipper.

Sad but true. How to win any internet discussion: 1) Make up a name for your opponent. 2) Make it socially unacceptable to be called that name. 3) Call your opponent that.

You also forgot "republican", "communist", "leftist", "socialist", "antifa", "BIPOC", "fascist", "autist" etc. etc. etc.
