“Weird” is the new “weak” — and it is driving Republicans crazy. So why are “weird” and its increasingly popular cousin “creepy” freaking Republicans out in a way that “fascist” or “authoritarian” never did? We’re a little creeped out, but we’re not afraid.”The Democrats’ use of “weird” turns the Republicans’ self-image on its head. It’s weird that Trump doesn’t think America is a great nation. It’s weird that he wants to be president of a democracy when he doesn’t believe the democratic process works.
