The “bizarre” lengthy lower
Apparently, the entire “Donald Trump is a fascist attempting to destroy democracy” bit was getting sort of exhausting and everybody hated it, so the Democrats have finished a switcheroo narrative with their switcheroo candidate: as an alternative of calling Trump a fascist Hitler determine, they’re saying he’s “bizarre.”
This narrative was seeded by Minnesota governor Tim Walz, who’s a possible VP choose for Kamala.
Or perhaps this Kamala marketing campaign e mail is the place it got here from.

No matter the place it first popped up, it’s clearly organized, as a result of now everyone seems to be saying it.
JD Pritzker, the Jewish governor of Illinois whose household is behind the kid tranny motion, has additionally been pushing the “bizarre” narrative, and is even utilizing the faux “intercourse with a settee” meme about “JD Vance.”

This “bizarre” bit is popping up in all places like every good organized political narrative.
It’s all within the media.
Social media is being plastered with it.
The Trump workforce is after all responding with the plain – “I’m not bizarre, you’re bizarre.”

Trump himself simply responded by saying Kamala is bizarre.
The transfer to “bizarre” is itself bizarre.
A number of the assaults are in all probability legitimate.

After all, everyone seems to be a bit “bizarre.”
In my life expertise, bizarre individuals had been all the time extra fascinating. Some man who had intercourse with a sofa might be going to be extra fascinating to hang around with than somebody who hasn’t finished that, which is why I mentioned it could have been higher if “JD Vance” truly did have intercourse with a sofa.
The Democrats are extra “bizarre” in a damaging sense, with the kid gays and different deviant sexual habits.
However no matter.
Some individuals are saying that the “assassination try” (alleged) is a purpose for the narrative swap. They’re claiming that calling Trump a Hitler-fascist was too excessive and the sort of factor that results in political violence, so they’re dialing it again.
I don’t actually suppose that’s the case. It appears extra seemingly that this “Trump is a fascist destroying our democracy” speak simply received tiresome and other people thought it was dumb, and clearly with getting a brand new candidate, they’re going to alter the messaging some, and “these individuals are bizarre” might be a a lot better narrative than this “these individuals are Hitler” stuff.
Clearly, switching from “Hitler” to “simply sorta bizarre” is a fairly large shift, however so was switching from Biden to Kamala.
What it does do is take away among the urgency that the Democrats had been so married to. They mentioned earlier than, throughout, and after Trump’s presidency that he’s an existential menace, completely different from some other candidate in historical past, that each election is an important election ever as a result of Trump will destroy every little thing. Switching from that to “bizarre” undoubtedly turns down the temperature some, no?
“He’s not simply evil – he’s additionally bizarre” doesn’t actually work.
This Doesn’t Even Matter
Typically I don’t even know if I ought to trouble reporting on stuff like this. I’d reasonably simply complain about ladies. However I really feel like I’m considerably obligated to only cowl “no matter is within the information” so that folks know what individuals are speaking about, and have some sort of angle on it.
In any case, all of us must go round speaking to individuals in actual life and giving opinions on issues.
Nevertheless, I don’t suppose slogans will change the end result of the election. It appears to me that the Israel challenge would be the deciding issue, and it appears to me that Trump is the Israel candidate.
What we all know from 2020 is that elections will not be determined by what number of votes a candidate will get.
Addendum
Whereas Staff Kamala has switched to “bizarre,” Staff Trump has switched to “don’t vote for Kamala or she’ll put all of the blacks in jail.”
The inverse of that’s “vote for Trump and he’ll launch all of the black criminals onto the streets.”
The rationale that Kamala, when she was a cop, was placing so many blacks in jail is just not that she hates black individuals (though she in all probability does), however as a result of no matter get together, locking up black criminals has all the time been a well-liked coverage.
Persons are afraid of black criminals they usually don’t like them on the streets.
“I’ll flood the streets with blacks” is just not a very good marketing campaign slogan.
