You may have noticed that Democrats have been successfully labeling various statements and positions by Republicans in general and Vice Presidential candidate JD Vance in particular as “weird.” In response, Republicans have pointed out all the things about the Democrats that are weird. If both parties agree on anything, it’s that being weird is bad.
But that’s surprising because until recently, it seemed like Democrats and liberals were all about celebrating weirdness, which is really just another word for “strange,” or being a nonconformist.
