I should respond to more political strategy with “I don’t know that, and neither do you.” Like that person who said the Democrats would win more elections if they called transphobes “weird.” I argued with that on linguistic grounds—if transphobes are this common, they’re the normies—but thinking about it on strategic grounds, I have no way to tell whether calling transphobes “weird” would help or not. And you don’t know that either, unless you’ve been doing opinion surveys. You’re just stating something that feels to you like it should be right, and things that feel right may or may not be right.
