He doesn’t like animals. Remember when he was almost eaten by a bald eagle? And he’s strangely phobic of sharks.

Well he lost my vote

That sounds like the most un-american thing i’ve heard all day. Very weird.

I cracked up during the Jan 6th hearings when his aide said she came into a room and saw a broken plate and ketchup splattered on the wall.

The helmet kissing thing at the RNC was insane and hilarious too. Weird dude

Eh, adds to it but there are so many words you are missing for completion here.

They both have a real “would you fuck me? I’d fuck me” vibe.

“Gross” seems a lot more fitting than “weird”. But what do I know? I’m not a political strategist.

yeah that’s what i meant; they’re the ones turning it into a negative attack. the dems are just planting the seeds.

… and this attack will be turned on us next.

don’t be orange

don’t not be not orange

Yeah thats why i say hes not weird just mean and nasty

“aren’t we all a little weird? What’s normal anyway?”

Weird tack for people who are against (checks notes) anybody who isn’t white, straight, and Christian.

First they came for sociopaths, then powerhungry hypocrites

Hah. The squares are the weird ones now.

logically sound argument

Not even a little. Trump is wrong about what the problems are, and proposes “solutions” to the non-problems that we know will make them worse.

Plus, he’s old and weird, and he running mate might be young-ish, but double-weird instead.

It is, in fact, not at all the equivalent of that. Get your lab equipment tested.

“we need to bring this country together and be united!”

EIN VOLK, EIN REICH, EIN FÜHRER!

Putin is just the Putin version of Putin. He is nothing like Hitler and not trying to be either.

I would agree that it’s a lot of nudge, nudge, wink, wink, underlying white supremacist ideology.

I don’t even think it’s a secret. They just refuse to say it overtly because of the social impact of it. A portion of people who voted, and will vote for Trump, might have a problem with them being very obviously racist/Nazis.

I don’t think that’s a majority, but those that now or less stay out of politics, and are just habitual Republican voters (maybe they’re subscribed to the party or something? A “card carrying Republican” type thing), would see the overt racist/Nazi themes and reconsider their position instead of blindly doing what they’ve always done.

Instead it’s about making things “great”, an overly broad and obtuse term to use as a focus of your political goals. With vague and ultimately meaningless talk about what that means, without any actual hard statements.

They’re avoiding any commitments to do a specific thing or achieve a specific goal, and it’s all a smokescreen. Anyone paying attention knows that you can’t have your cake and eat it too, which is essentially what they’ve promised at every turn. The horrible fuckery of the medicare system comes to mind. They were going to make it “great” and affordable… How? Nobody knows. They didn’t even know. What did they deliver? Not that. It’s not great. Affordable? That is debatable. It’s not just Medicare. It’s everything.

They only other time I’ve seen this phenomenon is at work. Sales people will sometimes promise clients that a product will do everything for them. Well beyond the abilities of that product. I’m not in sales. I’m a technical support/implementation person. I have to give the end user/client the bucket of cold water to say, no, it doesn’t do that, and it’s not able to do that. When I approach management about it, the response is inevitably “make it work”, aka, find a solution, and don’t bother me about it. I tend to quit jobs that put me in that kind of a position, so it’s rare that I end up in it.

What Trump, and a lot of what I’ve heard from his party lately, does is entirely the same. He’s acting like a shady sales person, telling you everything that he thinks that you want to hear, then foisting the task of actually accomplishing any of his wild statements onto implementation people who basically tell him that his promises and statements about what we can do, or will do, cannot be achieved. They’re told to “make it work” and they do their best, but it ends up making things fucking suck. I don’t blame anyone except the sales person telling me that they can do something that I later find out, cannot be done.

My main problem is that, this isn’t just his own business that’s going to suffer and fail as a result of his insane ramblings. We’re talking about the country of the United States of America which will suffer immense damage if he is allowed to continue this circus.

I don’t believe anything he says.

I generally don’t believe politicians. I also don’t believe most sales people. As for a politician with the approximate credibility (or lack thereof), of a sales person? You do the math.

I wonder why? I don’t think Kamala supporters would freak out if you called her “weird”.

Keep up the good work

Lol, found trumps account.

Nah

Keep $City Weird is a classic embrace of the term.

Yep. Gonna be big “I was part of the civilian resistance” post-WW2 vibes in the aftermath of all this.

I’m prepared to remind every smug boomer I know until the day they die, and I relish in the opportunity.

Yep. I look forward to that day, but we need to remind them of the truth when they try to pull that.

Just like the origins of the “tea party”, just like how they called themselves “teabaggers” (no matter how much they insist now that it never happened), just like they swooned over both W and Romney, but pretended they “didn’t know her” when W’s war on Iraq was obvious to even the lowest of low-info that it was a clusterfuck, and when Romney lost to the Blah guy.

This.

Never let anyone who identifies as or admits to voting republican get away with this. Always remind them they had a convicted criminal rapist pussy grabber who stole from from a kids cancer charity running the show. Not just a candidate, he ran the whole clown show.

Doesn’t matter if it’s an uncle, dad, mom, grandpa or grandma; always be relentless with this message and have no room for sympathy or forgiveness. Be the bigger person? Time to ‘heal’? No, no, no. These people wanted to destroy America and you have to throw that into their face relentlessly.

Sure, have a family dinner or some party with family and friends but the moment politics comes up, you hammer this message home and tell them the discussion on politics is over because they have been proven not to be trusted at all when politics is involved. Uncle Bob want to talk fishing lures? Sure, no problem. Uncle Bob wants to talk politics in any way, shape or form? Be very, very fucking brutal in cutting the traitors of and shut them down. They have lost any and all admission to discuss (or, in my opinion, be part of) politics.

This needs to be repeated over and over. Remind everyone when Trump is gone. He isn’t the threat people, he is a threat.

My impression is that Something Awful was largely filled by people who saw the problems with 4chan “humor” and wanted nothing to do with it. But I could be misremembering.

They think Democrats beliefs are weird in turn, so nothing has changed

After eight to ten years it’s calling him weird that gets under their skin? Lol, I love your optimism.
