We all know the truth about TFG and his enablers – cruel, hateful, criminal, liars, threat to democracy, and more.  But no real descriptor has stuck, at least until now.  The term that stuck?  Weird. That’s right, weird and it’s derivative, weirdo, is sticking like glue and it’s pissing them off.  Tim Walz, governor of Minnesota, got the party kicked off last week on MSNBC calling TFG and Fauxbilly “weird people.”  Hillary picked it up on Twitter X with this little jewel: 

Let’s go through the weird list: People without children restricted from voting; people with children get an extra vote per child; government control of women’s menstrual cycle information; a nationwide abortion ban; short of a nationwide ban, pregnant women’s out of state travel should be monitored; jail sentences for doctors who provide reproductive care; jail sentences for women who get abortions; privatize schools; ban and burn “unacceptable books”; end marriage equality; ban medical treatment of transexual individuals; repeal Obamacare; impose Christianity on all Americans; ban Muslims from the country; mass deportations of immigrants; organize a private militia for the president; fire half of the federal employees, put loyalists in charge of all departments; politicize and weaponize the DOJ.  It goes on and on, but this is a representative sample.

Republicans have weaponized language for decades, from “you hate the troops” to “death panels”, “death tax”, “pro life”, and many others.  It’s nice that Dems have finally been able to turn at least a little of that back on them.  The great thing about calling them weird?  It’s because they are.
