Apparently, the only way to get under their skin is to sink down to their level a bit. It’s funny how much attention some of this stuff actually got. They are just so weird!

It’s not even close to sinking to their level. This shit is harmless. That makes it especially hilarious to see them blow a gasket over something so lame. Trump wants to take his ball and go home.

No, convicted felon, and genuinely weird creepy Donald Trump, will take your ball and go home.

That reminds me of a story of some business man who was playing at one of Trumps golf courses with his 12 year old son. Trump was right behind them and because he went with a golf cart he caught up with them. Now they had seen Trumps shot go in the bushes somewhere. You mark your golf balls so you know whose ball it is. Trump, undeterred, drove up with his golf cart, decided the best placed ball, the 12 yo kids, was his and continued playing with it to the absolute bafflement of the father and son.

Now this story is from way before he decided to go into politics, but already showed exactly what kind of person he is.

Like someone sleeping their way to the top of the presidential ticket? We’ve been dealing with their bullshit rhetoric for years so much we are all but immune to it. The magat snowflakes can go fuck themselves if they can’t take some in turn now.

It looks kind of pathetic. These dudes have real policy positions and behavior to attack and instead of anything substantive we get couches and weird.

If you’re trying to reach voters already with you, then it’ll be effective for that maybe, but it only tells other voters you think they’re imbeciles. Which is prolly accurate.

The talk about them being weird wasn’t devorced from policy. It was first brought up when talking about how republican leaders are weird for wanting book bans and abortion related policies

The media latched on to the word “weird” because it was unusual, but if you look at when Walz using it, it’s still largely being used in discussions of their horrible plans and actions

They latched onto it because they were told to by the DNC lol

There’s no way you believe that’s organic.

They’re trying to reach republican voters, of course they’re going to assume their target audience is a bunch of imbeciles who don’t care about policy. Because we have decades of evidence that they are a bunch of imbeciles who don’t care about policy.

You gotta meet your audience where they are, and we already know where the republican electorate is.
