The lesson of 2024? Don’t be weird
Washington Examiner er ^ | 14 Nov 2024 | David Harsanyi

A lot of you people sound nuts.

So, it is unsurprising that a Donald Trump campaign ad featuring the tagline “Kamala is for they/them. President Trump is for you” was effective in the 2024 presidential campaign. Indeed, a pro-Kamala Harris PAC says the spot, which featured a clip of Harris endorsing state-funded sex-change operations for prisoners, “shifted the race 2.7 percentage points in Mr. Trump’s favor after viewers watched it.”

Now, one suspects most normies aren’t only turned off by “they/them” because it’s grammatically mystifying or scientifically dubious. For many, “they/them” represents the 14,000 confused children who have been mutilated by “gender-affirming care.” For others, “they/them” represents thousands of girls and women who are forced to compete with boys and men on the field.

For most, though, “they/them” is probably just a microcosm of all the weird cultural fads the Left has been trying to normalize and force-feed society. Normies tend to reject social science quackery.

Americans are generally happy to make accommodations for alternative lifestyles. That doesn’t make this stuff less bizarre or extreme. And the speed at which the Left has demanded everyone treat these unhinged notions as the norm is mind-blowing.

“Normies” is a horrible addition to the lexicon.

Can we just refer to the others as weirdos, ‘cause that’s what they are.

Good stuff, like early Ann Coulter. Yes, I would like to know more.
“Liberals” proved themselves these last 16 years to be more close-minded, restrictive and confiscatory than their mortal enemies: us, with their constant projection, mandates, gun grab attempts, relentless lawfare, assaults on speech, violence to the language (one he forgot: “forgivable loans”) and Cotton Mather attitudes to all things not their agenda.

The city motto for Austin, the blue blight in the middle of TX is, “Keepin’ Austin weird.”

Just take care of your lawn. That’s the most important thing you can do.

Normals is preferable. But it is considered hate speech, because it triggers those who are not.
