“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?
