Hard to imagine anything much weirder than wanting to present oneself as racist in front of an African-American journalists association. Pretty much guaranteed to get a hostile reception when you do that.

Has anyone commented just how plain weird this guy is? I mean don’t get me wrong, he’s old, he’s tremendously old, but he’s also just SO weird, right?

This guy, and let me tell you some people really say it, is the absolute, no really he is and I’m telling you the truth, you wouldn’t believe it, they say he is weird and nobody else is weirder.

Tears in their eyes, they come to me and they say, “sir, oh sir” and did I mention these are BIG men okay, motorcycle men, crying, and they’ve never cried before because they are so tough and so big, okay? So they say to me, they say, “sir! You’re weird and old, sir” and it’s true okay, like you’ve never seen. [Fart]

Yeah, that’s so weird… Normal healthy people don’t say that stuff.

My only thought was maybe it’s mental decline because he’s just SOOO old, but he’s been doing this for a long time right? So the fact that he’s old, which we all agree on that fact, isn’t as relevant as the fact that he’s a weird convicted felon, rapist and credibly accused pedophile that’s bragged about watching naked minor girls change their clothes…

Republicans man, they are just plain weird people. Also, have any of you noticed that they really seem to be fixated on children’s genitals as well? Weird shit, man…

I’d bet actual real money that there’s some kids locked up in a pizza place basement somewhere right now, I’m not even kidding.

The “this weird thing seems forced” thing seems like a weak response to an effective tactic.

It’s effectively highlighting how they are just really, truly, fucking plain weird - like Ted Cruz giving a high five weird and “if she wasn’t my daughter I’d pay her to have sex with me” dangerous weird. It’s also important that they contrast with a platform of “we’re normal hardworking Americans, like you”. No you aren’t… You’re fucking weird.

It’s not about you, the fact that that is how you receive it is something you can work on personally. But again, not about you, friend.

Literally fucking EVERYONE has commented it, to the point where now calling him weird seems desperate and cringy. Which I guess fits the lemmy M. O. “Weird” was a good insult because it was new and unexpected. Now you lemmings are just saying it over and over again. It’s the type of shit I’ve always criticized Republicans for, endlessly repeating their talking points. We’re better than this. There’s no shortage of ways to insult Trump.

I saw a comment that said he was braindead before he got shot, that’s a good one.

“Bone spurs” is a good one because it’s not done to death. Saw one saying Captain Bonespurs obviously couldn’t have read a draft of Project 2025 because drafts make him shit his diapers.

Every other fucking comment shoehorning “weird” into a sentence dilutes its effectiveness. Chill, dudes. Yeah, Kamala got him good with “weird”. It’s a point you can keep hitting at when he does something particularly bizarre, but that happens all the time. Just saying “he’s weird” every time he does anything makes the insult meaningless.

That was a bit odd. Is this your first cultural touchstone moment? We’ve had so many the last two decades they all tend to run together.

If that’s your definition of a cultural touchstone, maybe you’re the one lacking experience.

You’re taking a bunch of randos on a small social media platform WAY too seriously, as if we could sway the outcome one way or the other.

It’s not really about that, it’s just annoying seeing my side do the same shit I keep lambasting the Republicans for.
