There is a very simple reason why calling them weird works.

They are fascists.

Fascism is not complicated. It is at heart an authoritarian ideology which gains power by othering outgroups and promising that getting rid of their chosen scapegoat will remove all problems from life.

Fascism is a hypercapitalist system designed to accrue money and power for those at the top and sometimes called a necessary outcome of late-stage capitalism.

Fascism thrives on envoking fear, terror and alarm in those who oppose it and those they choose to persecute.

This is why calling them weirdos works. They want you to be afraid. For the leaders you being afraid of them means they get away with their crimes and horrible behaviour. For the followers you being afraid means they feel powerful.

You defang them to an extent through ridicule.

According to the founder of the fascismo party of Italy(where the origin of the word fascism comes from)

Fascism should more appropriately be called Corporatism because it is a merger of state and corporate power"~ Benito Mousalini

How is that "hypercapitalism", when the state enforces a monoply and there by eliminates competition? How could that be possibly considered a free market?

Also

It is at heart an authoritarian ideology which gains power by othering outgroups and promising that getting rid of their chosen scapegoat will remove all problems from life.

how are dems not doing that by othering rethuglikkans as "weird" and blaming everything that goes wrong with thwir initiatives on "rethuglikkkan opposition"?

"Weird" is an effective attack because, unlike a lot of past messaging from that crowd, it's not a pearl-clutching, sanctimonious, hyperbolic word salad like the essay from a self-important reddit janny loser that's been copied here.

How is furry capitalist? The fandom is based almost exclusively around content and characters created by members. The artwork and costumes are made within the community. The conventions are nonprofit, and give heavily to charities. Furry culture is heavily socialist, my dude.
