Conservatives on X keep throwing around the word “retarded” like it’s some kind of punchline. They use it in memes, spam it in comments, or try to bait accounts with it. And somehow, they think that makes them clever. What’s wild is that the ones calling everyone else “retarded” are the same ones who can’t articulate a single political argument without posting some recycled meme from 2016.
So the real question is, who’s actually lacking cognitive function here? Because I can articulate my points. I don’t need cartoon frogs and outdated reaction gifs to make my case. But these accounts? They have no substance. No argument. Just meme after meme after meme. If that’s all they’ve got, then maybe they’re the definition of what they’re so eager to throw around.
