The Weirdos Still Can't Get Over Trump Beating Kamala Like a Drum

The opinions expressed by columnists are their own and do not necessarily represent the views of Townhall.com.

Do you remember the “GOP is weird” attack line that lasted about 30 seconds during the 2024 election? It got some traction on Google, but Kamala’s staffers thought it was effective. It wasn’t—they were only hearing the echoes from the left-wing bubbles. 

Part of the effective neutralizing was JD Vance, a primary target, doing a media blitz and coming off as the most down-to-Earth guy to ever run for the vice presidency. The Ohio Republican sat down for a three-hour interview with Joe Rogan. Kamala ran away like a scared little girl because her limited IQ would have ended with the podcaster shredding the California liberal in front of a massive audience. With the election over, the left has ironically become their creation, or maybe it was always this way. 

And by that, I mean they’re weirdos. They fought for explicit, gay, adult content in libraries, genital mutilation surgeries for minors, and a host of other socially aberrant behavior that the electorate roundly rejected earlier this month. Yet, we’re now in the holiday season, and liberals are canceling plans with their Trump-supporting family members. 

That’s weird. If your life is consumed by Trump living rent-free in your head, you’re weird. You're weird if you can’t fathom sharing conversations about things other than politics. If you think democracy ended this month, you’re weird. The left became their own Frankenstein creations with these antics. And now we have wives claiming they’re going to have sex with their husbands’ liberal friends because they can’t cope. That’s not sane—that’s mental illness. The second layer to this irony cake is that simply unplugging would help many a lefty with their mental state. The campaign that lost this cycle would be exposed as being too online—the Democrats. It’s a voter group that’s plugged into all the wrong sources, which we saw glimpses of as liberals were the most grossly misinformed group about COVID in America. 

I come from a split household. My mom’s a liberal Democrat, while my dad is a Republican. My sister is progressive, while my brother-in-law is a Republican. My brother is on the MAGA train. My mom’s first legal vote was for Joe Biden’s 1972 Senate campaign in Delaware. And we all get along. We’re not canceling Christmas or Thanksgiving. We’ll talk politics without having strokes, enjoy our time together, and, like the rest of the country, watch my putrid New York Giants play the equally abysmal Dallas Cowboys later that afternoon. 

*That game* might cause the issues, as Uncle Matt, who will be many bourbons deep, will likely be cussing up a storm in front of his niece and nephew. But no, we’re not at each other’s throats over something that happened weeks ago. We’re not weird like other people who can’t accept election results.

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone.
