    Vile has too much strength. Calling something weird or odd is ridicule. Vile implies danger.

      He is dangerous. He’s hurt so many people and he’ll do it again at any opportunity to enrich himself.

      Trump being president again with a stacked Supreme Court is dangerous.

        Sure is. But the idea is to mock fascists. Both forms of rhetoric are important. You can acknowledge the threat, but it’s also helpful to point out this isn’t how normal people think or behave.

        Half of voters don’t care about any of that. Half of voters have primitive caveman brains.

        Trump is a weak man’s idea of strength, because weak people don’t understand what strength truly is since they haven’t experienced it themselves.

        Replace “weak” and “strong” with various other attributes, and you instantly see why Trump can con people into voting for him.

        Anyway, Trump supporters don’t understand “dangerous for democracy”. It is not part of their vocabulary. But being ostracized for being “weird”? That might just work. To speak to Trump voters, unfortunately the only way to communicate with them might be to use their primitive appeal to emotion.
