The “weird” label really is so brilliant.
It implies there’s a “normal” and they’re not it. An us & them & they’re the outsiders.
The whole conservative self-image is based on the idea that they’re the silent majority, Joe Six Pack with normal every day regular concerns & cultural values. Liberals & leftists are the freaks, not them!
But they’re not normal, at all, they’re fucking weird. We tried to get them to care about losing democracy & rights, but this actually goes to their hearts.
I'm wondering if the people worried about Joe Biden's age want the 15 members of Congress ... you know, the ones who really guide the country ... who are aged 76 and above to resign also?
Do they really want a bunch of inexperienced novices running the country?

Can you imagine what would have happened if within 24 hrs of Trump being a convicted criminal, every NYT opinion writer and the Editorial Board called on him to step down. And then the media found 1 or 2 elected Republicans to say he should step down and kept highlighting them, and found some big money donors who were Haley supporters and would publicly say they could no longer support Donald Trump as the first former president to be a convicted criminal in history?
The U.S. media is a joke.
