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.
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.
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 worried they’ll just embrace it like they did with “deplorable”.

Good point.
I think that’s why I like it. It’s basically concern trolling.

An old man that was also wearing an unnecessary ear bandage.
They put up giant marquees patting themselves on the back for being domestic terrorists.

Nah, they know what weird means. They didn’t know what deplorable meant.
A 6 year old knows what weird is, it’s not something you would want to attach to.
