Yes, and apparently my reading comprehension is better than yours. They’re saying Republican Trump supporters are so dumb their intelligence is on the level of someone with an intellectual disability.
They’re not disparaging the mentally disabled or saying that mentally disabled people are lesser. They’re making a comparison.
But I bet you’d be perfectly fine if they had called Trump supporters morons, which is exactly the same type of insult as retarded.
They are making a distinctly unfavorable comparison (or was the monster in the picture that started this a compliment?) by comparing repugnant, morally vacant people to the mentally disabled in an equality. They are saying that republicans are lesser and that they are the same as the intellectually disabled, which would make the intellectually disabled lesser by logic we learned in elementary school.
It’s not hard to not use a slur. There are a great many insults out there. Have some standards.
And yeah, moron probably would have missed me. It was a slur before my time. And now, I’ll update my internal no-no list. Thanks, that’s correct. That’s a common way people improve, but being called out on shitty behavior.
