I only found out within the last couple of years that it’s considered a slur
No. It was always a slur. It was still a slur when we were younger, we were just too immature to understand that. It just means that we grew up and learned that it's denigrating and (most of us) stopped using it once we grasped that.
It's absolutely a slur. And (IMO) one of the worst ones. Nothing infuriates me more.
He was told by Stephen Miller that if he concentrated hard enough, he could kill Harris with his brain. Or poop himself. Whichever came first.

I'm not heading "right" by any stretch of the imagination. In fact if anything I'm more militantly anti-corporate than ever. But while I once thought of "globalism" as "the future", the COVID pandemic and the following supply chain crisis really veered me away from it.

I predict a massive loss for the GOP, all the way down to dogcatcher
I hope so. If there is a god, the one I want to see lose the most is Ted Cruz. I'm so sick of his smug face. He gives the rest of us Canadians a bad name. We're sorry we sent him to you.

Classifying those who were mentally less-developed as "retarded" became the excuse for a world that would try all types of monstrous experiments, ostensibly in an attempt to "heal them" because this was they only way "those people" could be a use to society; as lab rats for things like lobotomies, electro-shock therapy and any other wacky insanity that the early 20th century had dreamed up.
In effect, while "retarded" was once the so-called medical terminology it very quickly became shorthand for an entire group of people that could be dismissed and used because they'd serve no other purpose otherwise.
