Weird

Post by Some Schmo »

The latest Democrat narrative is the Trump and Vance are "weird" and it seems to be working. At least, it's really annoying Trump.

The funny thing about this approach is that it's been available the whole time. Trump is weird. It's just that he's also stupid, dishonest, racist, insecure, incompetent, an asshole, and a criminal, so the Democrat instinct has been to highlight all of those things and not even consider the more tepid "weird" descriptor.

But "weird" seems to be sticking, especially with Vance on the ticket. "Weird" covers so many different behaviors without having to get specific about any particular one. People can think of Trump/Vance and overlay their own perception of these guys' weirdness.

I am amazed and impressed by this turn of political marketing and wish they used it years ago. "Weird" isn't as harsh, it's more relatable, and it's not as easily perceived as an attack. It sounds more like a relatable observation of what we've all experienced. It turns out that less really is more.

I freaking love it. Something is finally sticking to the orange turd.

Make that "the weird orange turd", please.

Let's never forget that wonderfully appropriate adjective!

It sure appears to be working especially the ads being run by George Conway's PsychoPac.org that he's been running in Jersey and Florida on FOX, ESPN, and The Golf Channel...where Trump can see them. :lol: He's also been putting up billboards where Trump can see them as well.

He has a youtube channel and also this website: https://www.psychopac.org/

The suggested donation amounts contain the number 34. The number of felonies Trump's been convicted of. :lol:

If you haven't already, also check out "Shrinking Trump" on the Really American youtube channel. They're following all of these moves.

I can't get enough of George Conway's stuff. I listen to him regularly on The Bulwark. I completely agree with him; the media has been afraid to talk about his obvious mental conditions and somebody has to do it.

I am going to go donate to his anti-psycho PAC now, in fact.

Strange is Likely a better descriptor i. e. God’s strange act as termed in the scriptures and stuff.

Especially considering him turning his head at an exact moment to remain among the Living.

Gotta Love that Large L showing forth divine intervention is highly Likely. 8-)

Long ago little l just didn’t sit right with spy man.

Clarity continues to clarify continuously.

Gotta Love me some word salad. :lol:

I listen to him on The Bulwark, too, as well as any current interviews or guest appearances he makes. He's a smart man with a smart strategy. And it's not only working, it meshes well with the efforts to identify Trump as weird.

Conway noted, and I agree, how in 2016 Trump was the new shiny object in the race and how now, folks are simply tired of his routine. He may have seemed impressive back then. Now he just comes off as crazy and stale in my opinion.
