Why does “weird” work? Republicans love to appeal to a supposed silent majority. The new insult helps intervene.
Why does “weird” work?
Most eyerolling analysis I've read in awhile. I don't know why people suddenly turned against Trump but it certainly wasn't because of the term "werid".
You don't know why? That's so "weird". Are you actually from Seattle?
I think weird and similar thoughts are sticking for a few reasons.
Yes, yes, yes. It's also sticks though. It's hard to defend against without proving the point, and it's already an easy point to prove.
That's, I think, why it's landing so well. These are weird, weird people. We've all been thinking it and saying it to each other. Remember they did that press conference at a landscape supply company? Wtf?
But their weirdness didn't become Zeitgeist, until, I think the biggest thing, it's finally coming from the bully pulpit.
Corporate media was never going to point out how their ownership class and their bullshit are completely weird, but the bully pulpit is called that because it cannot be ignored. My two cents on it. Agree with your post wholly, too.
Supporting Israel is weird.
