You are missing the beauty of weird. For 8 years Trump has positioned himself as a Larger than Life dominating figure. And too many non MAGA gave away their own power by talking about Trump as strong man. Calling him a wanna be dictator or authoritarian helps him. Makes him seem more powerful.

“Weird” bursts that bubble.

Yes, Trump is a psychopath. But he’s also weird.

He says weird things (Hannibal Lector), wants to pass weird policies (tariffs, building a physical wall…), he chose a very weird running mate. He surrounds himself with bottle rimmed glasses swinger Roger Stone, ostrich leather jacket wearer Paul Manafort and 3 shirts Steve Bannon.

I think it’s very healthy for Americans to realize how UN NORMAL these people are.

+1
They’re not the handsome, good looking power party they think they are. They’re just effing weird. Even their retaliatory attempts to paint Harris as weird fall flat because the party is so far gone that they don’t know what normal looks like anymore.

+1, weird gets to the heart of how much we've normalized entirely abnormal behavior in Trump for the last 9 years. It's like waking up and realizing, "WTF is this, America?" Walz is the opposite of weird and that'll be on display for the rest of the campaign.

He’s a total breath of fresh air, especially against the weirdly stagnant air of the guy who wants women to get numbers of votes based on how many children they have and says women who don’t have kids are worthless.

(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.

OMG could you be more hysterical? What a weird post. Boxcars and camps 😂? Trump has nothing to do with Project 2025 but you dummies keep repeating the lie because CNN told you it’s true.

The actual evil lies with those who fail to protect women and children, ignore child safeguarding and potentially irreversibly damage a child’s body. Interesting how any posts regarding what the Democrats have been pushing and supporting is deleted because you get triggered and can’t handle the truth. I’ll support the weird eyeliner guy or whatever you clowns are saying because I’m on the side of good not evil.

Oh, he'd sell his right arm to keep Evangelicals. He knows he can't win without them. It's easy for him to give them what they want. It cost nothing in actual money which is the only thing he cares about.

Oooooh, thank you SO much for reaching across the aisle and helping. I'm sure the success of the Democrat party is at the top of your wishlist.

I’m a dem voting Harris and I commented a few pages back that this strategy does not sit well with me. I don’t think it will sway swing voters and is bully like behavior.

Speaking to people and supplying the word they’ve been searching for isn’t “bully like” behavior. Something is off with Trump and Vance, with a lot of the Republicans, for that matter (look into Roger Stone’s life…).

Has a fifteen second clip fed to him on his right wing app, decrees her a “disaster,” pats back for voting for the weirdest man ever to run.

One of the lowest approval ratings as a VP. She sounds like this when she doesn’t have a script to read from….word salad and nervous weird giggling. This is why she has not been doing interviews.

Lol the “weird” thing is going to backfire spectacularly.

Firstly, the progressive left already “normalized” weird—and even made it aspirational! The most liberal city in New California (errrr…I mean Texas) has literally adopted “Keep Austin Weird” as it’s (unofficial) slogan….and what started out as a tongue in cheek nod to the quirky hippies and offbeat music scene 35-40 years ago has without a doubt become synonymous with an effort to embrace the idea of “bring on those wacky liberals and turn our state blue!”

Weird is the progressives defining characteristic and they LIKE it.

So having a liberal scrunch up his nose and say “those people are WEIRD” is laughable. And I’m not sure it actually plays well to most liberals when you use “weird” as a pejorative—since that’s what they live to be!

It’s like saying “that’s so gay!” in the 2000s.
Initially it gets a cheap laugh and nod—and then someone goes “hey wait—you’re….you’re saying that like it’s BAD!”
That’s what will happen with the “weird” thing.

What’s “weird” is that my kids (who are now finally of legal voting age) have been told for years and years by their very liberal school district in NOVA that ”othering” people and making fun of their differences or excluding them for a way that they speak, walk, think, behave that is different from you is not acceptable.They have taught them that seeking to understand others’ point of view is key to growth and paramount to appreciating diversity and practicing inclusion.

What’s “weird” is seeing this noble value tossed out the window (by grown adults if that same party affiliation—who should know better) in an attempt at political gain.

It’s absolutely bullying behavior and it
looks desperate and Trump-y.

I will not be perpetuating this garbage.

We could also look at Sam "hide your luggage" Brint0n, Hunter Biden, and Admiral Rachel Levine!

If I said “something is off with the pope and a lot of Catholics for that matter (look into some of those pedophile priests)”

Or how about “something is off with Mohammed, with a lot of the Muslims for that matter (look into the 9/11 terrorists)”

Or “something is off with Netanyahu, and a lot of Israelis for that matter (look into Gaza aid issues)”

Or “something is off with Hamas, and a lot of Palaestinians for that matter (look into Oct 6, 2023)”

…you might see the issue a little differently depending on your perspective.

But the fact is, a lot depends on your perspective of a situation. When it’s about Trump and people who are intending to vote for him and you don’t like Trump—then you don’t see an issue with othering anyone who votes for him. It’s dismissive and dehumanizing for a purpose. And that purpose is to feel righteous.

So this election is a choice between weird and woke.

There pins in 2016 of Trump "Not Normal". This is just a variant on that. Aaannnnd, it's true. He is weird. He isn't normal and we need to stop normalizing this kind of behavior. That's not bullying. It's an objective observation.

Exactly.
And that’s why it’s offputting when liberals try the “weird” thing. Like “oh please—weird is the literally the liberal brand!” And it’s actually super OFF-brand for liberals to attempt to pretend that “weird” is somehow not desirable to them.

Oh wait—you mean it’s not that at all? It’s just that they actually just have nothing substantive to go on the attack about so they have to pretend that liberal weirdos = normal and patriotic = weird?
I guess Orwell was right.
