| None of those things are doing anything to dispel the fact that Trump, Vance, and most of the other Republicans are deeply weird. |

Vance joins the GOP’s weird obsession with talking about kids and “sexually explicit books.”
(And “toddler libraries”? I guess he just lets the nannies do the child rearing if he’s talking about “toddler libraries.” Maybe he means “kids section” but that’s not what he said and the most sexually explicit book I’ve ever seen in any of my local libraries in my very blue county is a kids’ potty training book.)

Sadly this particular thing they do is not "weird," it's straight up insidious. The GOP playbook on this is to label any book, movie, or piece of media depicting homosexuality or transgenderism as "sexually explicit" and "pornographic." Step two, as laid out in Project 2025, is to ban all "sexually explicit" and "pornographic" materials. Literally make it illegal to write a book saying it's ok to be gay or trans. Step three is to make being gay or trans itself illegal, exactly like what Trump's good buddy Putin did in Russia Step four involves boxcars and camps. This is why it is not hyperbole when we say right wingers are fascists and Nazis, because they are literally planning on doing the same thing the fascists and Nazis did. It's not weird, it's literal evil. |

The weirdo is trying his best but he is still weird and wants to discriminate against people without children. |

Why does he think that orange bronzer is a good look? He is so weird and don't even get me started about Vance humping his couch. |

I think JD Vance sucks but this is stupid. He doesn't wear eyeliner. He has double eyelashes. |

Maybe. Maybe not. This election is about two things in terms of voters: 1) getting the base out to vote (i.e. - not losing supporters); and 2) persuading the still persuadable (a much smaller number) to vote for you. Casting Trump, Vance, and the GOP as weird seems to be a somewhat effect pushback against the MAGA idea that they are the only "real" Americans. As a real American that loathes Trump and MAGA it's been frustrating to see him do insane things like tell sexually suggestive stories and curse at the Boy Scout Jamboree, which is one example of a million, and realize there's been no effective reaction. Weird is also kind of a unifying label. There's no identity politics in weird. There's no wonky policy points in weird. But if you can like weird to things like laws that force 10 year olds to have their rapist's baby, well then you have successfully bonded the word to your political opponent in a very negative way and you have a chance to outline your own policies as majoritarian and mainstream. |
