“Weird” Isn’t the Word We’re Looking For
The meme here is from a reader (who misspelled “tantrums.”)
If I were a Democratic political strategist, I wouldn’t be trying to pin the concept of “weirdness” on Donald Trump and JD Vance.
That’s because, if we’re being honest with ourselves, we’re all weird in some way. To be weird is to be nonconforming. Are men who cry weird? Are people who don’t have televisions weird?
The problem with Trump and Vance is that they are profoundly hateful and dishonest people. They have no regard for basic moral principles, and they’re aware that most of what they claim is patently untrue.
