Fuck I didn’t think the libs would be able to do it… There’s reactionaries posting shit like… ‘how are we wierd?’ And seemingly genuinely butthurt.

They should have been taking this strategy a long time ago instead of always acting mortified. I think chuds relish when they horrifying the people they don’t like.

    Yeah, what’s good so far is that weird is ambiguous enough to mean anything.

    Ask dems how Repos are weird and theyll say some shit like ‘well, GOP says that they want secure borders and yet they keep allowing all these illegals in’

      Right. I think it works best when really just used occasionally, and mostly by smaller-time actors. Harris gave a speech the other day that included a line like “and by the way, have you noticed how a lot of these guys are just plain WEIRD?” It felt unnatural and, well, weird. Waltz and people like him can deliver it convincingly because they can talk about normal things they do. Harris can’t, because she is also weird. If they oversaturate with it, it’s going to lose effectiveness.
