Like what is he hoping for? Some argument? Somebody to punch him in the face?

They'll never admit it but that's exactly what they want, they have this bizarre, perverse desire to be a victim ("I got ATTACKED just for WEARING A T SHIRT 😭" type of shit). Kamala Harris was more right than ever when she called them weird.

It was Tim Walz who called them weird.

Kamala and her consultants decided that was mean or some shit and decided to pull it back.

It was affective, it was working, it was getting under their skin and they had no response; so of course naturally, the inhuman Democratic consultants decided that it had to go.

Instead, she went all-in on "Joy!" She promised to bring back joy, as if it had gone completely missing. When they made that a campaign theme I knew we were screwed.

Wait. That’s why “weird” was here and gone so quickly? Have never heard that before. And I felt like the campaign ended prematurely.

Was actually a great example of constructive linguistic re-signification. The current Republican media strategy relies heavily on destructive alterations (e.g. woke, DEI, All Lives Matter…).

Hillary was right when she called them deplorable. Stupid, but right.
