Donald Trump still doesn’t have a comeback to Kamala Harris calling him weird.
After stewing in Tim Walz’s “weird” label for several weeks, Donald Trump has finally cooked up a comeback: No, you.
“You know, he said we’re weird,” Trump told a small crowd in York, Pennsylvania, on Monday during an event that was supposed to focus on the economy. “That J.D. and I are weird. I think we’re extremely normal people.”

I love that the weird label is the one that really hit the Republicans hard.
Fucking weirdos.

It should also be mentioned that it is weird that being called “weird” gets under their skin so much

Yeah like someone called me weird, or even better queer, I would thank them for the complement. Why yes, I am somewhat unusual!

Trump/Vance are very Ohio.
halcyoncmdr@lemmy.world · 63 pts · 2y
It's simple really, their entire worldview relies on them being the "normal" ones and the "others" being the ones they make fun of.
Calling them weird forces them to think about it, just for a second, and that second of thought short circuits them just long enough for it to get through and it makes them feel terrible. They immediately drive it away of course, but there was that brief moment of clarity before they shoved it back down.

I can’t wait for the speech where they insist they’re quite normal fascists thank you. The biggest fascists. Everyone says they’ve never met a bigger fascist

Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works · 2 pts · 2y
It's weird how they are impacted so strongly by weird. It was this weak insult the ended up being so incredibly based and true that it ended up sticking despite anyone's aversion. They owned the word the second it was used against them, but it wasn't a voluntary ownership... They just keep railing against it like morons, digging themselves deeper and deeper.

The Doctors, some say the best Doctors, have said that I'm above average in being this normal; in fact it is abnormal to be this normal, that's what they say and they are some of the best normal type of Doctors

The only thing that got inside his head more than the couches (and the "weird" moniker) is Vance getting into the couches.
FuglyDuck@lemmy.world · 34 pts · 2y
Nobody is ever going to see Vance sitting on a couch again and not immediately think “couchfucker”

And I love that for him.

He’s gonna have to sit on wooden chairs for the rest of his life, if he wants any one to take him seriously.
Can’t even have a seat cushion.
nomous@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y
Every time I see JD Vance with his pursed little mouth and heavily lined eyes I think, "there's a man who'd enjoy sitting on some wood" so I don't think it'd help him very much.

Yeah, plastic would probably be the safest. At least it could just be pressure washed if he can't control himself.

Im so normal they say I’m so - and then the doctor, wonderful doctor he said “Sir, it’s a miracle! There are so many un-normal” - we call them un-normal now you know - it’s very terrible what they’re doing. He came up to me, tears in his eyes and says “you’re so normal we’ve never seen anyone more normal”. And could you believe it, Crooked Joe is not normal. He’s un-normal

Pro tip, before you tell the press that you’re not weird, push the rotting breakfast sausages and cereal out of frame.

When you have to tell people you are "normal", it's a big tell that you are, WEIRD, not normal.

And not the good kind of weird that wears the term as a badge of honor, but the bad kind of weird that verges on creepy with how much it insists that it isn't weird.

"Weird" feels like it'd only an insult if you're obsessed with conformity or you believe there should be in (normal) and out (weird) groups that dictate how you're allowed to exist in society.
Makes the word a pretty good litmus test, too. If you tell someone they're kinda weird, and they're that upset about it... maybe a red flag?
abraham_linksys@sh.itjust.works · 7 pts · 2y
Well said. Everyone is at least a little weird, and it's pretty relatable feeling. But when your whole lifestyle is based around conformity and hatred of non conformers, it becomes a grave insult.
