   “Democrats should drop the whole ‘they’re weird’ argument” says man who says the government lied about 9/11 and advocates for abolishing the FBI, raising the voting age to 25 and ending birthright citizenship.

     @MissingThePt The GOP bootlicker is right, why call them weird? All of them are weird, just need continually hammer home who most of them genuinely are - Fascist, NAZIs, racists and or American Taliban etc. There is no point trying to put lipstick on these pigs...

     @MissingThePt That said, I'd like to keep the word "weird" as a positive term as in Keep Fedi Weird and weirder.earth/ .

     We can call them creepy, that's fine, and perhaps bizarre can be used for that reality-divorced streak of theirs, in addition to just calling out the racism, sexism and fascism that is a bigger problem than generic non-conformance to norms.

     Nod to @Marc for making me think one more time about this.
