That word of all words
The memo has gone out: watch this hilarious supercut of Democrats calling JD Vance ‘weird’. I counted 54 times the word was used – all today, I guess? I meant to count how many different people were using it, but it turns out I can’t count two things at once.
Of all the words they could have chosen, you’d think that one would be their kryptonite. A huge part of their base is weird and loves being weird and loves being labeled weird and just all-around adores weird in its every permutation. The drag queens, queers, pedos and other assorted deviants probably feel a little robbed of their special word.
Meanwhile, politicians in their coalition kinda wish the weirdos would pipe down a little so they can sell their junk to voters. Weird is a word they shouldn’t want in the conversation. Weird is not their winning issue.
And JD Vance seems the least weird person in politics right now. I don’t know much about him yet – I haven’t read his book or anything – but he radiates normal guy-next-door. He seems like a softball and bowling team kind of guy. Even if he isn’t, that’s still the vibe he gives off. He’s the anti-weird.
I mean, Trump is weird. Sure. But I can think of a dozen qualities they’d have more success pinning on Vance.
Oh, hey – I just noticed I posted this yesterday: “They’re up to something and it’s something weird.” Get Nostradamus here.
p.s. Albert is still with us. He’s not much improved despite coaxing him with catfood (though he did crow up a storm this morning).

The same humorless weirdos who got upset that Musk’s parody post of Harris on X should be labelled disinformation want to use the word weird as an adjective to bring down Trump?
Go for it you weirdos.

Not that it makes a hill of beans but the most craven are the most involved in this nonsense…
Hasan, crediting Walz with starting the “weird” line of attack against former President Donald J. Trump and his vice presidential nominee, Senator J.D. Vance (R-OH), says he now describes himself as “Walz-pilled.”

The deviants are using “weird” as a pejorative. How queer.

Oh! Oh! Now we’re back to a variation of “Trump says mean things! Oh! Oh!”

“So the left called JD Vance weird and then the right pointed out that the left is chock full of weirdos and now all the left are trying to explain why their weirdos aren’t weird which just makes them look weirder.”

They should have gotten Snow White 2.0 as their spokesperson. She likes saying that word.
