In my experience, the act of calling people weird quite often says a lot more about the person saying it than the person being discussed. It's not a good look; it is an ugly thing to do.
Oh yeah. Like when a person calls a racist bigot “weird”, it makes them far worse than any racist bigot.
Or if you call a pedophile weird; you are, at that moment, worse than a pedophile.
Or if a country is committing genocide, you can’t call them weird. That would be committing genocide.
Ya def bad look bro. Says a lot about you.
You might be right in the context of high school name calling but you gotta get better at reading the room...
I read the room, I know how it is trying to be used, and it only reinforces the fact that most people kinda suck. I refuse to respect it.
I want campaigns based on policy, facts, and results. Not name calling & "feelings".
This is basically Democrat strategy; it requires no might or skill of any kind: a retarded kid throws a bucket of pig's blood onto a brilliant white shag carpet, points & screams about how dirty it is, and the Republicans scramble to clean up the mess. Wasting time, money, and effort on a mess that will never truly be clean again. Kind of like writing out a logical argument on this rabidly liberal platform, to have it downvoted & sometimes deleted. One side takes 5 seconds, ruins everything, very "effective". The other takes hours. Effectiveness...hit & miss. On its face, there is no way to win against the one throwing pig's blood on the white shag carpet.
But now the Democrats face Trump. Trump, at his best, doesn't really care if he's dirty or not. So that particular Democrat strategy is rendered ineffective. Lately he's wasted time addressing allegations, AKA, "cleaning up the mess". I want to see more debates on specific policies.
Ultimately, we'll see which side wins come November. Or perhaps there will be another assassination attempt. ¯\(°_o)/¯ It's hard to say. I am inclined to think they're going to kill him. I've said that for probably the past year.
You and I have very different goals. I assure you the Democrats' rhetoric is working well for mine.
We're in agreement on that. 👍🏻
