Man, those Republicans are weirdos, aren’t they? I know this because literally every leftist in the media suddenly discovered the word and burped it up over the last week like it was an original thought that just occurred to them. But it wasn’t. Nor were any orders given or talking points circulated – the hive mind doesn’t need to receive orders; it just knows. One leftist labeled Republicans weird, and everyone ran with it. I have no problem with the label; I’ve been happily “weird” my whole life. What I’m not is a sick SOB, like Democrats are.
A note on the hive mind first. Remember, back in 2000, when then-Governor George W. Bush picked Dick Cheney as his running mate, the leftist media immediately declared the choice was made for one very specific reason. The reason was a very specific word, one they’d not really used before but one they would do on to use repeatedly in the days following the choice; that word was “gravitas.” The great Rush Limbaugh (how much are we missing him now? Nothing has come close to filling that void.) put together this montage of left-wing media figures and outlets repeating that word.
Liberals have done the same with the word “weird.”
I’m not sure how weird it is supposed to be an insult. I’ve been considered “weird” my whole life and never really cared when anyone said it. Dressing out of a Salvation Army, buzzing hair everywhere but my bangs, which were down to my chin, listening to music that never stood a chance of charting, no interest in anything popular, etc. Oddballs, and happily so. Hype was repugnant to me and my friends – tell us what “everyone loves” and we’re not interested.
Weird is the opposite of “conforming.” I cannot imagine conforming, especially in politics. Blind loyalty to a party or ideology is death. You’d have to be brain-damaged to knee-jerk obey someone or anything, simply because it’s what other people do.
But that’s what Democrats do. It’s what progressives have always done. The Nazis didn’t allow for questioning or respecting individuality, the Soviet Union wasn’t known for respecting disagreements, and Democrats continued the traditions of their ideological forefathers.
I know they like to pretend they “celebrate diversity,” but their idea of diversity is different colors of like-minded drones. Stray from the thought plantation, and they’ll attack you, especially if you happen not to be white. They have a whole industry of people, based on race, to wrangle those who question – think Joy Reid without more testosterone.
And they cheer them; they cheer racism in the name of conformity and no original thought. That’s beyond weird, it’s sick.
That’s what Democrats are: sick.
Conformity through harassment is literally the only way they can keep people in line; the only way to get seemingly normal people to agree that a man happily married to a woman and having three kids is “weird,” but pretending a boy is a girl is not. It’s the only way a literal talentless nepo baby with brain damage can accuse a white man married to an Indian woman with bi-racial kids of being a racist who only wants white babies.
Honestly, how these people live with themselves is truly weird.
I guess even prostitutes get numb to what they do, but life is better if you don’t allow yourself to slip that far into inhumanity in the first place.
Yet, inhumanity is where Democrats live. It’s what they are.
It’s difficult to consider people pressuring for genital mutilation as anything other than evil, honestly. I have no idea how a person can watch a man beat a woman in the boxing ring and think that’s not only acceptable but perfectly normal.
They’re the same people, I guess, who look at a woman who slept her way into politics as a role model. Who sees that same woman with literally zero legislative accomplishments as something to aspire to? Who sees a woman unable to speak coherently, incapable of speaking off the cuff, as something to aspire to? That is what’s weird to me.
I am raising my daughters not to be like Kamala Harris in any respect. At ages 7 and 5, at least, they have no interest in being childless 60-year-olds and can talk and think for themselves, questioning everything. The norms Democrats fight to cultivate and force on people will try to strip them of those characteristics, of their individuality, or dare I say, “their weirdness.”
But I have confidence and take comfort in knowing they will fail in their attempt to keep people down, to force people to obey and conform. That this is who they are, and really the only way they and their agenda can thrive is, honestly, pretty sick. That anyone would embrace or fall for it is what’s really weird to me.
