MylesRydenThere is a meme going around calling Trump/Vance "weird." I am not in favor of that framing. I am probably wrong, I often am.
My one person focus group, my (female) partner tells me that "weird" is out of the ordinary, but that "creepy" is out of the ordinary "with intent."
"Weird" is a basement full of a model train layout. "Creepy" is a model train layout that depicts Auschwitz. "Weird" is using a drone to try and identify alien landing sites. "Creepy" is using a drone to take pictures of women on the beach.
The GOP is definitely "creepy" in my mind. Being so concerned with what people have in their pants, tracking pregnant women, caring what other people read -- all of that is creepy. And I think we should call it that.
