Last week, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz went viral with his observation that former president and current GOP nominee Donald Trump and his running mate J.D. Vance are “just weird.” After Trump wildly attacked Vice President and leading Democratic candidate Kamala Harris on “Fox and Friends,” the Harris campaign responded with a scathing press release titled “Statement on a 78-Year-Old Criminal’s Fox News Appearance” that included in its bullet-point takeaways: “Trump is old and quite weird?”
Since then the word has become a byword among Harris supporters, used to describe everything from Trump’s continued, and quite baffling, non sequiturs about “the late, great Dr. Hannibal Lecter” to Vance’s openly misogynistic charges that the Democratic Party is run by “childless cat ladies” and that people who do not have biological children are sociopaths.
"Weird" is the new "weak" — and it is driving Republican leaders crazy.
That is telling in itself. Democrats have also used “felon,” “rapist,” “Nazi,” “liar” and “fascist” to describe Trump, which most Republican leaders have simply taken in stride (felon being, of course, irrefutably true).
But “weird”? That conservative politicians and pundits think is childish and mean.
…
So why are “weird” and its increasingly popular cousin “creepy” freaking Republicans out in a way that “fascist” or “authoritarian” never did?
Power. “Weird” does not convey a sense of power. Indeed, in its current usage, it is a dismissive term, a labeling of bizarre behavior or beliefs that implies not a threat but a diminishment.
“Weird” is not a shout of outrage or fear, but a shrug of derision and disdain. “Stop being weird” is what one says when another’s actions and attitudes are so ridiculous that it honestly isn’t worth explaining why.

When things like the Olympics Opening Ceremony are “normal” then “weird” is a Badge of Honor.
Better weird than loser. Or incompetent. Or plain boring.
What a weird article.
Pathetic and desperate were the two words I thought of.
Projecting is all they know.
Just call the lefties “ weird”. They’ll get tired of it in a hurry
So the Administration that hired a cross dressing kleptomaniac to handle all the nuclear waste produced is calling JD Vance weird?
Do I have that right?
L
Or a president who showered with his 11 year old daughter.
“A time is coming when men will go mad, and when they see someone who is not mad, they will attack him, saying, ‘You are mad; you are not like us’”. —St. Anthony the Great
Use “weird” every time you talk to a leftie. Any forum you’re on. Repeat it over and over. Just use it against them like ‘deplorable’
If they want to go there then lets have it out.
Who will the voters think is the most weird? Butt plug? Or red-blooded Americans?
How is weird a bad thing first they called trump a dictator guess that didn’t work now he’s a weirdo
Z lot of leftism is magical thinking.
Who is freaking out?
I read on another site that Iran has interjected itself into our election by joining several social media programs and influencing it through language. The word “weird,” according to what I read, came from an Iran site that spread like wildfire in the US. The word went viral.
In a word, LOL;-)
Goes to show that normal is pretty weird in the democrat’s bizzaro world.
