    Many people are saying he’s the weirdest. Tremendous amounts of people are saying it.

        Yeah, but none of that bothers his supporters as much as calling him weird. Which is pretty weird if you ask me.

          Maybe it’s because they’re weird too? Which is also a bit weird. Do we still call them Trumpers or just weirdos?

            I’ve been pointing out how fuckin weird it is to care about half the shit they care about for years. I work blue collar so I’ve learned to keep my thoughts and beliefs to myself (it’s too much fuckin work otherwise), but every now and then I’d chime in with a “Why should the GOVERNMENT care about what consenting adults do?” or “Why should the GOVERNMENT have the power to dictate women’s health care?” etc

            It works quite well if you point out the obvious disconnect between wanting “small government” and feeling like the State should be their personal nanny/drill sergeant. I’ve had quite a few stereotypical conservative guys go “hey yeah that is kinda weird, fuck the gubmint”. They’re also typically fans of my case that I don’t care what color tie a politician wears, a crook is a crook. They nod solemnly, then leave before that reaches its natural conclusion.

            My two cents

          True, it is bugging them.

          I’m still sticking with rapist and fraud since they’ve been proven in a court of law.

            If weird were illegal, Trump would have been in jail since calling columnists, pretending to be someone else, to get it out that he was hot property in his dating life. I don’t see anything that has changed.

            In Trump’s first election run, Trump continually stole the light by saying the weirdest thing possible. All the attention was on Trump, while the entire field of serious candiDates were out-rizzed, by the weirdest guy in the Republican field.

            Now, he is just a creepy, weird old guy that needs diapers.

              To be clear, if someone needs diapers - that sucks and that’s nothing to hassle anyone about. Unless they’re (supposedly) a billionaire, unfathomably vain, an enormous sociopath, an asshole, a rapist, and a convicted fraud, who pose a true existential threat to America and the planet as a whole. In the latter case, fuck those people.
