What a headline. I'm not even going to read the article, because it's all going down a path of total meaninglessness. Trump doesn't really care what nicknames he's called. His hardcore followers don't either. So why are we pretending that one word we say might somehow have a magical effect?
I've explained myself at length here and in many places in the past week, and I'm fully convinced that Democrats have found the magic, silver bullet word, if there was ever one.
Democrats have tried many times to describe today's Republican party accurately: a party of facists, authoritarians, racists, rapists, homophobic, misogynist, anti-worker, reminiscent of Nazis, classist, on and on. Yet these words seem to shut non-political voters' brains off and Repubs have even co-opted 'domestic terrorist' where they felt it suited them. The word 'weird' hits differently, and fits well with the new direction the Harris campaign is taking. Excessive use by the Dems may cause it to lose effectiveness, and neither can one word be their entire campaign of course, but I'm watching it with great interest.
"I'm not going to read the article, I'm just going to make statements about it (which might not be true because I haven't read it) and ask questions that might be answered on it."
Exactly. If the editor is that bad at filtering out terrible headlines, it says a lot about the quality of that media company. That's the one thing they ought to get right all the time. And when they don't, they don't deserve readers. We can always come back tomorrow if they want to do a proper job.
