Not really a gag, more a term that Tim Walz (Harris’ VP pick) coined describing Republicans that has stuck like glue due in large part to it being absolutely true. The more you watch Trump’s inner circle, the weirder it gets. And the more people that realize how weird and dumb some of those people are, the more that some of the less rabid Trump supporters might actually have to start asking questions about who they support when they start being called weird by extension. And they’re not gonna like being called weird.
I read about it in German media and remember that it was stated there that Trump supporters used it first to describe some Democrats, but the Democrats just drew the UNO reverse card and have been way more successful with it.
Because Democrats are mostly pretty sane and generally normal. Most Republicans are pretty delusional, but some are just bonkers and very weird about their beliefs (not completely sure, but I think a somewhat apt analogy might be to the AfD party in Germany, as several of the same talking points are shared between both).
JD Vance, Trump’s VP pick. The kindest you can say about him (and to be fair a lot of the Republicans) is that he is very, very weird.
Hey, I think I got that inside joke!
The word “Weird” is also some kind of running gag that is circulating, isn’t it? Read about it somewhere…

Thanks for the detailed explanation!

AFD is worse, I think. Some are more or less open Nazis. But there are disturbingly many similarities…
As someone from the Southeast US, I got some bad news for you…
