What a headline. I’m not even going to read the article, because it’s all going down a path of total meaninglessness. Trump doesn’t really care what nicknames he’s called. His hardcore followers don’t either. So why are we pretending that one word we say might somehow have a magical effect?
I’ve explained myself at length here and in many places in the past week, and I’m fully convinced that Democrats have found the magic, silver bullet word, if there was ever one.
Democrats have tried many times to describe today’s Republican party accurately: a party of facists, authoritarians, racists, rapists, homophobic, misogynist, anti-worker, reminiscent of Nazis, classist, on and on. Yet these words seem to shut non-political voters’ brains off and Repubs have even co-opted ‘domestic terrorist’ where they felt it suited them. The word ‘weird’ hits differently, and fits well with the new direction the Harris campaign is taking. Excessive use by the Dems may cause it to lose effectiveness, and neither can one word be their entire campaign of course, but I’m watching it with great interest.
Hope so. I’ll be surprised if it lasts a couple months, but then i’ve been surprised (in a good way) about a lot of things lately.
“I’m not going to read the article, I’m just going to make statements about it (which might not be true because I haven’t read it) and ask questions that might be answered on it.”
Good contribution.
Exactly. If the editor is that bad at filtering out terrible headlines, it says a lot about the quality of that media company. That’s the one thing they ought to get right all the time. And when they don’t, they don’t deserve readers. We can always come back tomorrow if they want to do a proper job.
In rural areas, being normal is the highest priority. If you do one thing that’s ‘weird’ that thing will define you in that community for the rest of your life. You’ll never escape the weird thing you did. Your life is over.
Yes.
I immediately achieved a reputation as the nerd who hung out at the Mom&Pop bookstore/coffee shop in town, did computer repair for half the price of the Geek Squad, and shared extremely “weird” ideas about politics with anyone that dared to ask.
Never did lack for business, but folks stopped talking to me about politics after I ranted to the local Republican party chairman that the Tea Party was just a bunch of rich assholes trying to astroturf them into lowering their taxes at everyone else’s expense.
I was right, of course, but it was a red county in a red state and nobody around wanted to hear it. XD
I’ve heard people calling these freaks “creepy weirdos” for years (for instance: bluegal on The Professional Left has pointedly used that phrase). I’m just glad to see it being take up much, much more broadly.
Because the creepy freaks that are xtian nationalists ARE weird. Very, very weird.
I’m worried they’ll just embrace it like they did with “deplorable”.
This election will be won at the margins. If Harris can peel off like 1 or 2% of voters in the swing states, that’s enough to win. The MAGAts, who are a total loss, will embrace weird. They’re perfectly fine with a traitor, obligate liar, convicted felon, rapist, daughterfucker. But there will be a tiny sector of would-be trump voters who will decide “fuck it, I’m out” when confronted with exactly how fucked and weird their candidate is.
I’m not sure they can. Embracing weird would mean acknowledging that their own positions are not the moral majority, perfect, divinely correct ideas they think they are, and it might cause a few people to look around and realize how silly it is to wear an ear bandage to a scorching hot rally to hear an old man ramble.
I think that’s a risk, but Trump’s pathological ego will not allow anybody to call him weird, or strange, or abnormal.
My only concern is it is the start of August, and this weird argument is very powerful. I wish we were doing this in late September. My worry is weird will park and become old and stale by November.
They can’t embrace weird because it doesn’t have any hate in it. They wanted to be hated to own the Libs so deplorable works for them. Being weird doesn’t have any hate in it.
