Trump's Army of Online Losers Keep Making Everything Weird

gizmodo.com Trump's Army of Online Losers Keep Making Everything Weird

Trump has been normalized for so long, many Americans had forgotten just how strange this guy is.

There is fun / silly weird, and creepy / gross weird. Trump’s fanboys are the latter.

Weird on America’s left = Portlandia

Weird on America’s right = Fixate on genitals and conspiracy theories
- Yeah... on the one hand, I don’t think we should stigmatize divergency.
  
  But on the other hand, their platform is built on enforcing their idea of normalcy, and it relies on their supporters believing that the party’s idea of normalcy coincides with their own. So pointing out how abnormal it really is isn’t just a cheap shot—it undermines one of their main goals.
  
  The difference is that non-maga people don’t care all that much about conforming, so “werid” = ¯\_(ツ)_/¯, whereas maga people are like “weird” = “DIFFERENT AND CONFUSING THUS SCARY REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE”

  I couldn't have said it better myself.
- There's weird as in "Keep Austin/Portland Weird", and then there's weird as in "Does this mole look weird to you?"
- I'm currently engaged in a few YT comment sections and honestly, weird is the word that describes these people best. I've never seen a group of people who fall in line with a lie so fast, are utterly humour less , and lack the kind of self awareness and self respect I used to think was just natural to people.
  
  Bro why would you engage with a youtube comment section, that is an exercise in advanced masochism 😭
  
  ~~hey my wife and I got engaged in a youtube comment section too!~~
  
  Edit: Never mind, misread the post
- that opening song slaps https://youtu.be/8qzsEzRPgO4
- Hey, I love conspiracy theories. I like to know if Elvis and Batboy will be overhead in their flying convertible.
  
  I'm also fixated on genitals. My own. Do they look nice in this lighting? How do they smell? Are those jeans going to crush them?
Not sure it's an army. More like a clown car. There's more of them than you expect, they travel in a bubble, and each one that emerges is weirder than the last one.
Goodness, Felon Drink Bleach and his ilk are so weird indeed.
- Ol’ Treason McPeePeeTape and his sidekick Couchie O’Fuckerton
I'm glad we just have no chill about this anymore.
I hope they burned that flag. If it's not supposed to touch the ground, it sure as hell shouldn't be rubbed on an asshole.
- It also probably has orange stains all over.

They can deny it all day long, but it's not like they can just fuck with the ballot chain of trust and fuck with the actual outcome.
- I think that is exactly what they plan to do
His dementia seems to really be stepping up lately. The black journalists conference is something 2018 trump would never have gone to because he had the wherewithal to realize it was a bad idea. Now he's just weird and delusional and keeps forgetting what he's responding to.
Weirdos gonna weird 🤷‍♂️
- You rang?
Pedos for Trump unite!
