Nach der Musk/Trump-Kundgebung gibt es ein besseres Wort für Republikaner als „seltsam“

> At this point, though, you have to wonder if “weird” is the right word anymore. Maybe “embarrassing” would be better. The pictures to come out of the event certainly are – one shows Musk in the middle of a jaunty little half-hop while Trump looks on like a disappointed father; another has Musk leaning in to talk to Trump with a look on his face that reads as “finally, the approval my father never gave me”.

It stresses me out that I share a planet with these people.

>accompanied by the richest man in the world and “real life Tony Stark” (yes, we really used to call him that)

Idk who this “we” is. I’ve known Elon was a fraudulent douchebag since 2010. I lost friends in grad school for saying he’s actually not that great and just wait until he says what he really thinks.

‘freaks’ or ‘freakshow’, like how many of their candidates have come out now as blatant nazis?

Or flat earthers, anti-vaxxer or hurricane conspiracist.

They are freaks

I think I’ll stick to calling those weirdo nut jobs weird.

Remember when Jack Smith Subpoena Musk for Trump’s Twitter data? Is this Musk playing a clown to not be label a snitch?

Grifter on grifter circle jerk

I still think weird is the best word for them.

We can call them losers, dorks, douchebags. But weird has that element of disgust, where it goes beyond a playground insult and asks “Why aren’t you normal” to a group of people shouting so hard about how their racist, misogynistic, backwards-fucking-ass thinking is normal and the rest of us are weird for wanting to treat everyone equally

embarrassing fucking weirdos

Trump and his mob absolutely hate being called a loser, just saying.

I mean, it’s a billionaire and a wannabe billionaire talking to blue collar folks and fooling them that they’re all alike.

The only thing thing they have in common is the racism.

Yeah, they’re fucking lunatics.

I want to write a children’s story with Leon Muskrat as the villain.

“Weird” is just the perfect balance of accuracy and childishness to hit them where it hurts. Anything more sophisticated than sixth grade doesn’t work the same way.

is there a word for “physically painful second hand embarrassment coupled with paralyzing fear of tyrannical fascism”?

Even though the whole concept of alpha males has been 100% proven false (wolf study that took wolves from different packs and threw them together, then watched them fight) this is the most beta, weak men bullshit I’ve ever seen.

I guess this is what The Boys meant when dumb fucks stupid.

Weird, embarrassing losers.

This is gold about the current state of the GOP:

>t’s the party of losers like Musk, desperate for validation but totally incapable of earning it. It’s the party of losers like JD Vance, who knows that he can’t actually back up any of his so-called beliefs, and so makes up stories about immigrants eating people’s pets to frighten voters into being on his side. It’s the party of losers like Marjorie Taylor Greene, who seems to sincerely believe that “they” – whoever “they” are – can control the weather.

There’s a handful of votes across the country that are worth way more than the amount of effort and money Elon has put into this campaign. Please, please don’t squander the value of your vote. Get out there and shut this asshole down.

*In theory, the event should have been a slam dunk … Instead what we got was the propaganda equivalent of an air ball, as the two men’s combined presence somehow managed to be even less than the sum of its parts – presumably putting us well into negative territory.*

*They spread lies, they inflamed political tensions, and they targeted the vulnerable – all in a day’s work for two men who could afford to pay people to teach them social skills, but instead choose to be the poster boys for “white nationalism, but somehow even stupider”.*

Quite pleased with that.
