Notice how they go out of their way to say Harris "had sex" with Montel Williams. That's a bizarrely blatant attempt at slutshaming for a consensual relationship between two single adults that occured two decades ago.
DP. I actually had no idea she and Montel Williams had a relationship until I read your post. OMG.
Well now you know? Who tf cares.

Weird really just means unusual. If someone says something is weird, they’re just saying that’s not what they’re used to. When you think about it, the word really isn’t a compliment or an insult, just a neutral word that conveys a piece of information: the information that something is outside of a person’s regular scope of experience.
This means two things. 1) It’s down to the specific person’s opinion whether or not calling someone/something “weird” is a good thing. 2) It’s up to you to decide if you agree with them.
The irony is that our society has actually been groomed (by progressive liberals no less) to be accepting of anyone "weird" -- i.e., LGBTQ/Transgenderism/Drag Queens, etc. -- are all "weird". Not bad "weird" just a specific person’s opinion based on their beliefs and values that it is "unusual" and not the norm. It's OK to be "weird".
Also, anyone who has a child with OCD, ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, etc. knows that it's OK to be "weird" because sometimes the child may have an uncontrollable tik or unusual habit and be called "weird" for it -- again, it's OK to be "weird".
So honestly -- the whole "he/they/the GOP/Trump/Vance" are all "weird" is falling flat even with this Anti-Trump voter. Because I'm weird sometimes and it's perfectly OK to be weird.
Calling a child "weird" because of their OCD/ADHD/ASD is not cool. Tons of kids struggle with these issues. They are very human issues. My child stims and I don't think of her as "weird" at all and I certainly wouldn't teach her to call other kids weird. That definition of "weird" assumes there is a group of "normal" people, none of whom have anything unusual about them, and that's not true.
Trump and Vance on the other hand are out of touch rich guys who support an unprecedented level of control over American families. That's bizarre. I can't relate to that.
I have an adult child with ADHD/OCD/GED...you are totally missing the point. Weird has been normalized. Case in point -- Keep Austin Weird. That's the whole point. Weird is not derogatory anymore.
But Minnesota's weird is not the same as Austin's weird.
No, it has not been completely normalized.
And Shakespeare wasn't referring to the "unusual sisters" in MacBeth, trust me.

Ummm...none of the definitions above are derogatory and hence "weird" is not derogatory.
You think finding someone unsettling is a positive thing?
PP is being obtuse. Obviously, the term "weird" often refers to situations or people that are unsettling, scary, or creepy. Like in the movie "The Firm" when the wife refers to the firm Tom Cruise is working for as "weird" because she's learned they encourage the wives of their employees to have children but they do allow them to work. That level of influence on employees' personal lives is weird as hell.

I think Vance is physically adorable. I don’t think he needs to be sanitized …
I need to close my eyes when he speaks so I can actually hear the substance and not be distracted. Otherwise, he actually seems genuine to me.
I’m sorry but the guy has appeal. If he became president, I’d be okay with that. He seems stable and very smart.
Most of the damage was done by the supreme court already. I mostly care about the economy and keeping everyone employed and generally healthy/fed. I believe in maximum religious freedoms, police force and state lawyers, and generally leaving people alone while still protecting targeted peoples. I liked the moderate democrats of the past.
I don’t think Trump is helpful for the country but is JD a moderating force or a future leader in the wings?
A+ troll post.
JD a leader? Faith that Peter Theil’s perpetual intern would be competent to do an actual job? Attractive? He barely eeked out a win in a solidly red state with Trump’s blessing and $15M from Peter Theil (sad that a senator comes so cheap).
🤣 🤣 🤣

You need to put down the crack pipe because Vance is a super creep. He makes my skin crawl.

JD Vance, or whatever his name is this week, is an unprincipled striver, sucking up to whoever can help him climb to the next rung. He changes positions as easily as he changes his name.

The reason they hate being labeled weird is because well they're downright weird.
It's not every man who is comfortable in orange bronzer or boasts about assaulting women by grabbing them in the crotch and don't even get me started with couch boy.

And complaining about schoolyard bully tactics? Has he met his presidential candidate?
Reminds me of that scene in “A Christmas Story” where Ralphie finally goes off on the bully Scut Farkus, who ends up crying with a bloody nose.
Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio) said, in an interview that aired Sunday, that Democrats are engaging in “schoolyard bully” attacks by calling the GOP ticket “weird.”

Wonder if Vance has read the entire listing of his "vulnerabilities." That must linger like a bad smell in his mind.
