But weird is good, right? We’ve been pre-programmed to respect and recognise outliers and weird creeps for so many years that now weird have a positive connotation.
People understand there is a difference between quirky/harmless kind of odd and creepy weird. The former might stop to smell the roses or wear mismatched socks while the latter locks women up in the basement. Without being explicitly told, we all understand which one Trump/Vance are.
Can you provide the link to when either Trump or Vance locked women in a basement? Otherwise, they are rose-smelling weird.
Well....they like the guy who sabotages women's cars to date them

No, "nerds" and "geeks" have come to have positive connotations. "Weird" is still the kid who always says something awkward/inappropriate and doesn't know how to behave appropriately in social settings.
Weird can be good depending on the context. Keep Austin weird means people who are artists and musicians and who dance to the beat of their own drum - it doesn't mean creeps who f couches and want to force women to stay in violent marriages while saying out loud they plan to be dictators. That's a different kind of weird. Words can mean different things in different contexts. Here it means that Rs are unsettling and creepy, not that they're visionaries and iconoclasts.

So deplorables suddenly became weird. Why are they weird? There is nothing weird in being deplorable.

For the purposes of this discussion, the left-leaning terminally online crowd loves the “weird” narrative.

I think it’s actually likely to fall a little flat. This is red meat for the already-committed Democrat voters, but that’s not who the Democrats need to reach.
The same is true in reverse for other messaging from the Republicans, but that’s not the subject of this thread.
I think the average not-terminally-online person is probably as fatigued by Trump as the rest of us. I think any reminder that we’re going to be hearing about this freak for another 4 years if he wins is good enough. I’m ready for the republicans to move on to their next psychopath. Trump is getting old.

This isn’t interesting or quirky weird.
The GOP is creepy couch f-ing controlling women’s bodies weird.
Oh, that is weird.

This whole strategy was developed by the governor of a midwestern state full of swing voters who grew up in rural Nebraska.

Not in the GOP. Straight-laced is good in the GOP.
