You know, people have been calling him a liar, criminal, con man, psychopath, and all manner of other damning insults, without him or his base caring at all. It’s amazing to me that he legitimately seems to be shaken by being called weird, but it’s that’s what takes the wind out of his sales, I’m all for it.
The right want to be seen as the normal ones, and make the mythical “other” the deviant radical. Calling them weird destroys that stance in a way that all the other stuff can’t.
Someone else said it in another thread, but conservatives appear to be staunch conformists; think crabs in a bucket. A lot of people are pissed that a Trump presidency didn’t fix all of their problems too. His weirdness, which stands out even among all of the other weirdos in the party, is the one thing that you can’t really deny even if you somehow still like the guy and don’t give a shit if he lies and cheats.

Weird, isn’t it?
That’s a good word for it.

It really has been fascinating watching the meltdown over such a simple word. If only we’d realized how simple it was earlier.

It really is weird how he’s reacting to it, right?
