I’ve explained myself at length here and in many places in the past week, and I’m fully convinced that Democrats have found the magic, silver bullet word, if there was ever one.
Democrats have tried many times to describe today’s Republican party accurately: a party of facists, authoritarians, racists, rapists, homophobic, misogynist, anti-worker, reminiscent of Nazis, classist, on and on. Yet these words seem to shut non-political voters’ brains off and Repubs have even co-opted ‘domestic terrorist’ where they felt it suited them. The word ‘weird’ hits differently, and fits well with the new direction the Harris campaign is taking. Excessive use by the Dems may cause it to lose effectiveness, and neither can one word be their entire campaign of course, but I’m watching it with great interest.

Hope so. I’ll be surprised if it lasts a couple months, but then i’ve been surprised (in a good way) about a lot of things lately.
Seriously.
I figured Trump was on a glide path to the White House because Biden’s ego wouldn’t let him back out of the race. Color me very pleasantly surprised.
