It's funny how the Democrat round robin has now told them to call all Republicans weird when I'd been led to believe that the left was supportive of the misfitting and the marginalised. Maybe they should now push for a recalibration of mental health norms given that their own doctors think they're objectively 'weirder' than other people and ply them with antidepressants and the like in far greater numbers.

The Democrats may have happened on a winning strategy with this pivot to labeling Vance weird/creepy, seems to be cutting through and winding up some of the Republicans.

It's much more effective than their usual thing of branding someone a terrifying fascist as that just makes them seem cool and dangerous in the eyes of their supporters. If you call them a creepy weirdo, it isn't cool. It's embarrassing and something people don't want to be associated with.

Vance having seemingly no charisma and going down like a lead balloon in the various public appearances I've seen only strengthens their argument.
Most people have no charisma. That's completely normal.

The problem with nicking the kind of things your opponents would say (as Tea does so unsuccessfully, for instance) is that it exposes the inherent mismatch. If the Dems are anti-weird how does that sit with the upvaluing of 'queer' culture which, from the German, literally means oblique, diagonal, odd, bent; they've already decided that they're not 'straight', undiverse so obviously it doesn't fit and the epithet will have to be withdrawn in no short order.

I read this thus thing in one of those PUA articles anit was saying about how a good tactic is to approach your 'target' and dispose of perceived enemies by saying stuff like 'oh that creepy guy is approaching again".

That struck me as unbelievably horrible, what kind of person would attack an assumed rival in that way? It's horrible, dishonest and, no doubt it's effective in having a detrimental effect on the guy in question, naybe even remove him from the equation. . What a sneaky scummy thing to do... wonder if anyone else has ever done that to me? If so I hope they hope they got testicular cancer and died in agony.

I mean when I read that PUA stuff I thought it was pretty grim when it was talking about ways to approach and chat up women. I can hardly say I approve of that jut at least it's sort of positive.... but this? Spurious dishonest attacks on random people- fick me.

I culd never do that, I hope that most peopleco couldn't cos those that don't feel a twinge of guilt doing that kind of thing are truly nasty. I mean I'm sure they get plenty of women and they feel happy enough about that to brand people who won't stoop that'll as moral winners whi h I'm sure in sure in their book is simply another word fir lover.

Do you have any criticisms of the Democrats that are more recent than the 19th century?
I think Trump will need to commission a full independent audit of the party, it's continued enthusiasm for segregation, its role in the rigged election, and its attempt to rig the current one through the failed assassination. This should result in the disbanding of the party because it manifestly fails to adhere to basic democratic norms. Otherwise I think they're good.

Biden dropping out appears to have sapped some of Trump's momentum too. The energy's all with Harris at present.
Yeah this is the impression I'm getting too. I'm not sure if its just because my content feeds are disproportionately filled with left-wing stuff, or if its actually because Harris is setting the conversation.

With trump there's always this mixture of

- wow I can't believe he got away with all that, he's bulletproof

And

- wow I can't believe he's fucked this up so badly

I suppose it's two sides of one coin. If he didn't get away with so much he'd not behave like this.

Real world consequences notwithstanding I do enjoy finding out about the latest hopeless stooge he's hired/fired.
It's all about the heels and the kayfabe

i'd like to see this article updated following the July surprises,

What conversation? It's just hundreds of paid off talking heads saying that people they previously claimed were fascists are now just weird.

It's funny that the Dems have gone for Vance wearing eyeliner - there needs to be more communication between ChatGPT at command central and the Prorg.

Maybe that's it: they're jettisoning the small progressive wing in order to appeal to trad minorities.

Re: appeal to trad/“normal” folks, that could well be part of it. It also seems like the left may finally be getting good at triggering the magas.

it is 'weird' how politics is like a TV show

trump needs to arrange a wedding for his freakishly tall son where the wedding band unexpectedly strikes up a rendition of 'everything is romantic' by charli xcx and everyone except him gets their throats slit
