This “kill the fatties” theme in fascist propaganda might have been thought up by a GRU operative who is not familiar with American physiognomy and the corresponding demographics.
Whatever the source, it seems likely to lead to civil war among Trumpites. I’m down with that. It will give them a use for those ammunition hoards they have built up.

“Quick Cletus! Grab you ARs! There’s a gang of juice monkeys tryin’ to trash the Whataburger!”
“Why, them savages! You’d think they was liberals ‘stead of the Taylor-Greene fan club.”

Alternately:

The vast majority of obese American men I know don’t think they’re fat because only unattractive women are obese.

The considerable number of obese American women I know that are wealthy don’t think of themselves as obese because they are “trying” to perform rituals of health, but do think of poorer Americans that wear unflattering clothes as obese.

Fatness does not exist as a social stigma to accurately assess how fat a person is, it’s just another form of inferiority that’s used to draw distinctions where there are none.
