At first I thought "weird is such a tame insult.". But I'm loving how much it bothers them.

[–] [email protected] 74 points 3 weeks ago (5 children)

Funny how "weird" bothers them more than, say, "rapist".

[–] [email protected] 26 points 3 weeks ago

Oof great point

[–] [email protected] 15 points 3 weeks ago

Tells you how they value conformity above all else

[–] captainlezbian 8 points 3 weeks ago

Well they only think one of those is bad

Pretty weird tbh

[–] arin 4 points 3 weeks ago

The fact is funny, Trump is horrifying.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

Rape is normalized if you are married, or would be married soon, or it doesn't count due to other party's low social standing or\and lack of agency, or you just scream and threaten louder than them when it is decided.

I used to be fine with being weird but now that they've taken over the term I cannot identify that way anymore.

[–] captainlezbian 11 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Nah, be cool with it. I’m weird, but I’m good weird, these people though they’re bad weird. By being comfortable with weirdness in ourselves we block the nou response

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago

nah, you're right for two reasons:

  1. there can be multiple kinds of weird
    B) they don't self-identify as weird as we do
[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Try being strange instead?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago

to be honest I kind of feel like "strange" has negative connotations whereas weird has been normalized.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 3 weeks ago

Then you're missing the point.

[–] [email protected] 58 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

Is it normal to announce that you're not weird?

[–] KingGordon 40 points 3 weeks ago

No, it’s weird.

[–] simplejack 9 points 3 weeks ago

Only after rambling about eating pets and South Park style abortions of children who have already been born.

[–] ArtVandelay 4 points 3 weeks ago

Reminds me of the old Monty Python sketch with the pilots. "Attention ladies and gentlemen, the wings are not on fire."

[–] [email protected] 50 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I love how much it bothers them. Don’t they understand that their protests are keeping it alive?

[–] Protoknuckles 33 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Oh, no. Absolutely not. They have no self awareness.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 3 weeks ago

Ha! You’re right. They wouldn’t be nearly as ridiculous if they did.

[–] [email protected] 44 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

"Weird. Its something ive never been called"- says person complaining that people are calling him weird

[–] Thebeardedsinglemalt 4 points 3 weeks ago

The more you come out and say you're not weird, the more weird you are

Skin behaves in weird ways when enormous amounts of spray tan is applied over many years

[–] thesohoriots 30 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

You can estimate his age by counting the layers

[–] [email protected] 18 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Is that trumpidendrochronology?

[–] FlyingSquid 6 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Yes, they have to take a core sample from his face.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 weeks ago

It's hollow.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 weeks ago

Eventually, it soaks into the face, then the brain. It really explains a lot.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 3 weeks ago

"I have never been called weird" is a weird rebuttal when he is litrrally being called weird.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 3 weeks ago (4 children)

Why is it that every time i read a trump quote i get a mindfuck. Hes so bad at talking.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 3 weeks ago

Because you are sane

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Every time I read a Trump quote, I wonder if there is any chance left that it's fake

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

Isn't that wild? If I'm being honest, I have to do double take and figure out if it's bullshit or not...

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 weeks ago

That's because he's bad at thinking.

[–] madcaesar 4 points 3 weeks ago

It makes me lose even more respect for his moron voters.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

No weird. No weird. You're the weird.

Anyway, they're eating the cats in Ohio, folks. They're EATING the CATS!

[–] edgemaster72 13 points 3 weeks ago

I saw it on television!

[–] captainlezbian 3 points 3 weeks ago

Ok I really want a patch that says “Ohio eats pussy” now

[–] PixeIOrange 2 points 3 weeks ago

AND they ALSO eat the DOGS! And also they EAT the PETS! THIS is what is HAPPENING in the COUNTRY!

I think im going insane slowly...

[–] givesomefucks 14 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Complains about being called weird, and then immediately says he's never been called weird...

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

That's weird...

[–] DarkCloud 9 points 3 weeks ago

"We're very solid people, not liquids at all!"

[–] captainlezbian 9 points 3 weeks ago

Part of me hates that one of the most effective anti fascist tactics of the current year is to channel my inner middle school bully. Not my inner middle school bully though, she’s loving getting to call these weirdo freaks the losers they are

His worst enemy is a wikipedian with a dozen of tabs to put his own quotes into the article.
