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