normal fighting doesn't work with trump.

It just feels very slimy and I don't like it. But, I understand it should work for the campaign.

juvenile. w was a bit weird and he did start a fricking war. Things were different back then.

When I think of people calling others weird it actually reminds me of being bullied as a kid. It wasn't fun. It just doesn't feel like adults should be talking like that.

That said it might be the best way to win against trump and things are too important to not do it if it would help us get more votes. It's just icky and I don't have to like it.

I reconcile myself to it by remembering that weird itself is neutral,
there can be both good and bad flavors,
and hope the people using it against the turd campaign
are keeping that in mind when they say it

Win on policy? The gop has “policy?” It’s weird policy. Is it we will win on hate policy? Or is it we will win on lies policy? Or is it we will win on racism and misogyny policy? Dude. Help me out with all the radical right wing weirdness.

Dems should be playing the music from "not like us" at the end of rallies, but without the lyrics.

But I think a term that is more apt for Trump and all his bootlicking minions is “vulgar”. In my opinion, “vulgar” more clearly describes their actions and words and presumably their thoughts. And there is no chance of having anything positive associated with the term applied to Republicans. Maybe extend it to “vulgar and mean”.

His tweet reminds me of when Traitor Greene demanded "Decorum" during one of her stints as speaker pro-tem, and the chamber burst into laughter...and kept laughing.

TCF is remarkably thin-skinned, has no real sense of humor, and does not like being made fun of. Biden was too much of a gentleman. Kamala, on the other hand, has taken off the gloves, and it's glorious.

Think about it.

They spout crazy conspiracy theories

They want to take over the government and destroy it

They want to force women to give birth against thier will

Terrified of transgendered people

They want to drag everyone kicking and screaming back to 100 years ago.

They agree with nazis and dictators.

That’s pretty fucking weird if you ask me.
