Vice President Kamala Harris and her Democratic allies are emphasizing a new line of criticism against Republicans — branding Donald Trump and his running mate, Ohio Sen. JD Vance, as “weird.”

"referencing Trump’s repeated mentions of the fictional serial killer Hannibal Lecter from the film “Silence of the Lambs” in stump speeches."
...
"declaring simply that “JD Vance is weird” in part due to his stances on abortion, and Harris’ campaign spokesperson saying that Vance had “spent all week making headlines for his out-of-touch, weird ideas.”
...
"calling Vance’s past comments about limiting the political power of childless Americans “a super weird idea.”

You may have noticed that in the whirlwind of recent days, the Democrats have switched up their messaging. No longer is Donald Trump a dictator in waiting. He’s just a strange old man.

"As for J.D., he’s an odd young fellow, that one."

Existential dread isn’t saving democracy. Maybe making the campaign a referendum on weirdness will work.

"DONALD TRUMP IS “old and quite weird.” He is “someone you wouldn’t want to sit near at a restaurant.” JD Vance is “a creep.” He would empower states to track women’s menstrual cycles and federal authorities to block them from crossing state lines for abortion care. This pair is bizarre. Just plain strange."

The Presidents tactics and weapons

I for one, am legitimately concerned about these people executing their enemies when they get power, (not the least of that worry being on the list of people they plan to assassinate. If one has experts nationally read one's work, which can run political and highly critical, one would be foolish to think one's enemies aren't reading them.)

Like Trump, Vance appears to be nothing more than a meglomaniac narcissist with no moral compass. These folks view human life as a commodity to bhe traded for power.

Yeah, they're weird. People like that used to be bullies, until their views got so, well, weird,m that even mean kids who used to be bulllies have rejected them and they now use mobs and gangs, like the Proud Boys, to do their dirty work.

We missed our opportunity to stand up to them and keep them from over running our county. This may well be America's last free election. That's what Donald Trump is promising and it looks like he's going to do everything possible to keep his word.

I,for some Pollyanna reason,

I,for some Pollyanna reason, believe Harris is going to win this election. Good will win over evil/weird, this time.

Geez, I hope you're right.

And in the spirit of happiness and optimism I shall cross post this from another forum,

"I don't normally post stuff like this, but it is local and it is news and probably more suited to a different source and outlet.
"FWIW. My daughter designed the uniforms of the Women's Gymnastics team of Brazil. Feel free to check out her work on the Olympics."
