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
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.
Also he’s weird
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'
This is kind of a weak infographic. They should've included more things from the Project 2025 agenda instead of making lame insults. This is community is called policial memes but still.
Vermin Supreme has the Weirdo Vote locked up https://www.seattletimes.com/nation-world/boot-hatted-satirist-vermin-supreme-launches-mock-senate-bid/
Vile has too much strength. Calling something weird or odd is ridicule. Vile implies danger.
Trump being president again with a stacked Supreme Court is dangerous.

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 president to deny the election outcome and sent his riled up goons over to the capital to delay certification for hours.
Only candidate to have advised the public to inject or drink bleach
I know this is a popular meme, but he never actually did say this.
Trump is scum, but I wish we'd continue highlighting the things he actually did regarding COVID rather than rolling out "inject bleach" which the record easily refutes instead of something he can't deny.
He definitely did suggest that bleach may be helpful with a Covid infection. It was not an outright statement, but he entertained the idea during a press conference.
Nope. He never even said the word "bleach".
Please, if we're going to criticize, let's criticize facts. It only gives him ammunition when we attack something that never happened.
This was exactly what he said, moments after a presentation on the relative effectiveness of UV light and bleach on killing the virus on surfaces. When he says "the disinfectant," he's talking about bleach, even if he didn't know the name of it.
“So, supposing we hit the body with a tremendous — whether it’s ultraviolet or just very powerful light — and I think you said that that hasn’t been checked, but you’re going to test it. And then I said, supposing you brought the light inside the body, which you can do either through the skin or in some other way, and I think you said you’re going to test that, too. It sounds interesting. And then I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in a minute. One minute. And is there a way we can do something like that, by injection inside or almost a cleaning. Because you see it gets in the lungs, and it does a tremendous number on the lungs. So it would be interesting to check that.”
Seriously. I saw it with my own eyes, and this dude is trying to gaslight us that we imagined it.
This is a valid point, and therein lies the brilliance of Trumpism—he rattles off enough inane babble, no one can remember exactly what he said at any given moment, nor can anyone be certain about what it is he meant even with on-the-record statements.
There is no object truth with convicted felon Donald J. Trump—just relative truths where the narrowest window is blown completely out of proportion and we're left with interpreting the exact size of said window.
The worst part about this is that we're left in the lurch squabbling over what is essentially word diarrhea. At this point, to most of us here, I don't think it actually matters any more what he said—he's a shit person spewing shit from his mouth and he has no business leading a country, let alone a business, and we agree on that.
But the objective truth is important, partly to hold ourselves to a higher standard than convicted felon Donald J Trump, but also to clarify misinfo as much as we can for the sake of posterity.
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.
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.
No mention of how bad he smells?
"loves venn diagrams" should be in quirks
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.
Technically the oldest candidate nominated for president just fyi but yes old and unqualified AF
Alt text: 3 members of the men from n.o.w.h.e.r.e., a precursor to the bureau of normalcy
"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?
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
Let's be real and add under the records part he has 34 felonies.
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
You missed the best worst trump quirk.... He's never laughed.
