"Deplorables" was labeling Trump supporters. The "Weird" labeling is focused on the candidates and other GOP politicians, pundits, media guys.
Please be clear. It was a PORTION of Trump supporters - the racists and xenophobes. Not all Trump supporters at the time fit under that category.

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.
To put it in entertainment terms, Donald Trump is a TV series that has stuck around a season or two too long, in contrast to Seinfeld which ended at its peak. Trump has become boring, old, and clearly mailing it in. And the actor he brought in for a boost, Vance, is wooden, creepy and repelling audiences.
ITA with this. Vance = Ted McGinley.
I agree with the overall assessment but the name Vance has no place in the same sentence with a dreamboat like Ted McGinley!!

Weirdo Blake Masters getting his butt whooped last night in Arizona AFTER a Trump and Vance endorsement is probably a bellwether for November…

They loved when people called them deplorable, and they’re big mad that people are calling them weird.
Ye, being the rebel bad boy is "cool."
Being labeled as essentially "bizarre" is not.
Especially for a group that does value conforming to some ideal. That's why the attack works. Weird is the worst thing for them. Throwing it back at "the libs" doesn't work because fewer of us are bothered by the weird label.
