UPDATE: Apparently the guitar was not signed (or certified) by Taylor Swift afterall. 🤣

    It’s not really forced imo. Waltz called them weird conversationally and it just kinda stuck. Likely because it fits so well.

      I agree that it’s fitting and the word should have been applied to them sooner. However, I definitely think some folks and journalists go out of their way to use the word. I’m not even saying there is anything wrong with that, just acknowledging that sometimes it feels a little forced.

        Congratulations, you’ve noticed the cracks in the simulation.

        It sounds forced because it is forced as a completely transparent DNC strategy play.

        Except they stole that from the left, too. Mainstream leftists have been calling liberals and right wingers weird for literal years before Walz even entered the national conversation. Libs have just turned around and projected it onto CHUDs.

        Weird how I just can’t stop finding parallels between libs and MAGA.

          Yeah, things that are different often have similarities. The logical fallacy comes in extrapolating those similarities into incorrect conclusions

          The ocean and the sky are both blue, so sky must also be liquid.

      It stuck because of how they reacted to it. If they had reacted the same they’ve done by being called fascists, racists, nazis, misogynists, paedophiles etc. it wouldn’t have become a thing. But the one thing they can’t handle being called is “weird”, which is in itself extremely weird. I’m all for absolutely overusing this and finding other words they can’t handle, it’s hilarious to see them so clearly show that they’re just mentally 3-year-olds having angry outbursts.
