The beauty of this is that we don’t actually have to attack weirdness by calling Republicans weird.
The left can be as weird as it wants, and Republicans can call us weird, we never built our platform on being “normal”.
The only reason we call Republicans “weird” is because their political and social beliefs are fringe nonsense. We’re basically calling them stupid.
They can use the same word against us, but it will never mean “stupid”, it’ll only mean “unique”, and we can embrace that without looking like weirdos.
while i generally agree, I’d argue that calling conservatives weird means less “stupid” and more “creepy”.
it’s not that they’re stupid, though they have a tenuous relationship with reality either due to ignorance or deception…
but they’re fucking creepy sex obsessed weirdos. that’s what weird is about. they’re always thinking about people’s genitals and who’s fucking who, who uses what contraception and what they do with their body. they think about trans people more than trans people think about trans people. they’re fucking creeps.
