This reminds of the time the right tried to "embarrass" AOC by posting a video of her looking really cute and *gasp* dancing when she was in college:

“In the interview, which was aired on KSTP-TV’s “5 Eyewitness News Nightcast” channel, Gwen could be heard talking about the riots and her choice to leave the “windows open as long” as the city was burned by looters and rioters.”


She is a weird one.


LOL. The Daily Caller.

The Trump-Vance ticket isn’t merely weird. They’re downright creepy.

He is punching above his pay grade.

It sounds like that weirdo is trying to “neg” the Presidential nominee into something.

Well, if the Republicans at the (country club?) poolside are saying it, I should shape up and listen to my betters.

Is that what you're going for?

Most people are weird though especially on dcum and in this area. Like attracts like.


The difference is that Democrats often take joy in non-conformity. They can embrace the weirdness with a sense of humor about themselves. Republicans are more likely to be conformist, joyless scolds. Their weirdness simply isn't very fun.


“Weird” also has multiple meanings, like most words do. “Keep Austin weird” is a celebration of non-conformity and living free. This, for many of us, is good weird. (See also: “you do you!”)

Then there’s “Please don’t leave me alone with this guy, there’s something so weird about him.” This kind of weird — the kind people mean when they talk about Trump/Vance — is never, ever good.


Good point. Unfortunately, I just don’t think it’s working. The other day I overheard people in my neighborhood whom I know are republicans talking about this at the pool and they were all laughing about it. They were saying that they they thought that the dems were the weirdos for calling propel weirdos. I’m concerned this whole thing is going to end up backfiring, which is certainly not what Harris needs.


No one thinks Republicans are going to suddenly switch parties because someone said Trump was weird. The point is to create a negative association with the Republican Party, especially for people who don’t affiliate with either party. There doesn’t need to be more than that.

That IS weird


I had to look that up:

Journalist: "What makes you smile? What makes you happy?"

JD Vance: "I smile at a lot of things, including bogus questions from the media." Then he laughed in a condescending way and said "right now, I am angry"



He thinks he is a chimpanzee pumping his chest.
