    JD Vance, Trump’s VP pick. The kindest you can say about him (and to be fair a lot of the Republicans) is that he is very, very weird.

        Not really a gag, more a term that Tim Walz (Harris’ VP pick) coined describing Republicans that has stuck like glue due in large part to it being absolutely true. The more you watch Trump’s inner circle, the weirder it gets. And the more people that realize how weird and dumb some of those people are, the more that some of the less rabid Trump supporters might actually have to start asking questions about who they support when they start being called weird by extension. And they’re not gonna like being called weird.

            Because Democrats are mostly pretty sane and generally normal. Most Republicans are pretty delusional, but some are just bonkers and very weird about their beliefs (not completely sure, but I think a somewhat apt analogy might be to the AfD party in Germany, as several of the same talking points are shared between both).
