Calling someone "weird" as an insult strikes me as an unfortunate choice. Trump isn't weird, he's vile. It's this guy who's weird.

Someone else commented the other day that it's a fantastic choice because (paraphrasing) the right is all about enforced normalcy and fighting against change. By defining their guy/policies as "weird" (the polar opposite of "normal") really throw a wrench into their mindset and has a chance of forcing a right leaning person of really thinking about things that no other insult could do
My only beef is…
I’m weird.
I don’t want trump to be weird. Let’s say instead he’s fucked up.
I also wasn't appreciating the word choice, but it makes more sense when pictures are included.
Alongside the images, it becames clear that they are calling out the hairs-are-standing-up, bad-gut-feeling, skin-crawling creeper kind of weird. And I think it's useful to point out this ick.
(Also, I'd wager you're the eccentric or endearing kind of weird <3)
Fun thought: think about the person who’s the stereotypical normal in every regard. Like they fall into that perfect pinnacle of normality.
(Boring, amirite?)
Now, think about how weird that person is, because it’s actually pretty weird to not be a little weird.
I’m fucked up and I’d prefer not to refer to his like that too.
I get where you're coming from, but I feel like calling him weird diminishes just how heinous he and what he represents actually is.
I mean, you and I know that, people with critical thinking skills know that, Democrats know that and we have a million and 1 different articles outlining all of it...for the audience of at least undecided/swing voters.
But to the average Trump supporter such things will only get written off as "Just more slander from those snowflake lIbErAls" or "FAKE NEWS" like they have been this far, and it'll just bounce right off them.
Insults like "weird" is one of very few that has the potential to pierce through that thick skull of theirs and actually get them to think.
While I do not identify as weird, I usually object as an empty bullying insult. However in this case, guess ya gotta go halfway to where they are and I think Harris’ campaign is holding the balance between beating them at their level while also talking about issues and policies. They’ve come out strong and I’m a bigger fan than I expected to be
'Weird' to you and I is a good thing, but to the normies they're trying to target it isn't. They're trying to reinforce weird as in creepy - like 'that guy wants a weird amount of control over your bodies'

You forgot to list other Trump records:
Most felonies for a candidate of a major party. Most impeached candidate Only candidate to have advised the public to inject or drink bleach
I'm sure I'm forgetting some others.
Nuking hurricanes will always be my favorite
Only candidate ever to have been charged with raping 13 and 12 year old girls as sex slaves and forcing them into sexual acts with each other? Might also be a first, but never discount Reagans ability to be the start of evil deeds in politics.
Only president to deny the election outcome and sent his riled up goons over to the capital to delay certification for hours.

EWWW is that what he looks like under all the orange? Fuck! 🤮
Anybody who doesn't miss the orange has no eyes. Anybody who actually wants it back has no brain.
Wow, he looks like fucking death on a stick.
No mention of how bad he smells?
Calling him weird risks losing the weirdo vote
Trump is bad weird. Like creepy uncle weird.
Kamala has whimsy. It's very refreshing, because you seldom see that in politicians.
Being on the Epstein list should be a quirk
"loves venn diagrams" should be in quirks
"Weird" is not evil enough.
"That obviously evil thing is also just so fucking weird"
Wow, that guy on the right is old...
And I have to say, he's also just so fucking weird, huh?
Alt text: 3 members of the men from n.o.w.h.e.r.e., a precursor to the bureau of normalcy
Last line should add that no one has ever seen him laugh
Let's be real and add under the records part he has 34 felonies.
I don’t understand why they didn’t put rapist or at least sexual predator on his side.
You missed the best worst trump quirk.... He's never laughed.
That picture looks realer than any other Trump picture I've seen. Just be old, dude, the grandpa look is better than the zombie car salesman look.
I too object to calling him weird. Frank Zappa was weird, R Crumb was weird, Weird Al is weird. To me it implies a level of subversive creativity Trump doesn't possess. He's creepy, sure. But not weird.
It would be great if Kamala said she was going to release the details on Epstein
and that she'd ensure prosecution for everyone on the lists, regardless of party
this comment was obliterated
In reading this and noticing the part about her laughter,
I suddenly realized that I have never heard trump laugh. Ever. In well over 20 years of watching him, I can't remember a single time he even chuckled
Trump being weird (not including his policies) is like the only good thing about him.
Worth noting the difference in their education as well. One of those candidates has a whole lot more credentials.
