In one of the funniest bouts of projection in the history of projection, presidential candidate Kamala Harris and her Democratic supporters, who believe men can morph into women and want to know everyone's “pronouns,” have called former President Donald Trump and vice presidential candidate J.D. Vance “kooks.”
This emerging narrative is especially strange given the weirdos, weirdos, weirdos and weirdos that Democrats have allowed to run their party and, indeed, the weirdos, weirdos, weirdos and weirdos that President Joe Biden has allowed to run the country.
Unfortunately, the label turned out to “resonate” with Harris' supporters. Maybe. But the message is unlikely to “resonate” with non-kooky Americans, including the 74.2 million who voted for Donald Trump in 2020 and will likely vote again this time.
Social media overload
The phrase was apparently invented by Minnesota's Democratic governor, Tim Walz, a hard-line leftist.
“Harris' potential running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, has been using the expression for months, first used it this week in a high-profile television appearance and has since used it in other appearances,” Politico reported.
The Democratic Governors Association, led by Walz, promoted the claim on social media, and the Harris campaign has also adopted the argument, repeating it in press releases and posts on X and TikTok this week.
“Those are strange people on the other side,” Walz said on a truly bizarre MSNBC episode.
They want to take the books. They want to get into your exam room. That's what it comes down to. And don't take this lightly. This is a strange idea. Listen to them. Listen to how they talk about things.
“I'm telling you, these people are weird,” Waltz commented on X's video of his appearance.
“This is getting crazy,” the Harris campaign chimed in.
Politico continued:
As this simple, quintessentially Midwestern portrayal of Trump and Vance spreads, it marks a notable rhetorical shift — from Biden's apocalyptic, lofty messaging to a more visceral language that better captures how many voters respond to far-right rhetoric, especially the kind that Vance deals with.
“This is a perfect illustration of the anxiety people feel: how people who aren't involved in politics every day react to hearing the Republican vice presidential nominee disparage childfree people,” said Tim Hogan, a Democratic strategist who worked on Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar's 2020 presidential campaign. “It's simple: This is about how you talk to your neighbors about the crazy political climate we live in.”
In emails last week, the Harris campaign argued that “Trump is old and very strange” and called Vance, who opposes abortion, “creepy” and a “kook,” The Hill reported.
The Associated Press described the label as brilliant politics.
The “bizarre” messaging appeared to give Democrats a rhetorical advantage they rarely had when President Joe Biden was seeking reelection. The Trump campaign, which has often dictated the political debate with the former president's rhetoric, has spent days trying to subvert the narrative by highlighting the Democrats' alleged oddities.
“I don't know who came up with this message, but I salute them,” said David Karpf, a professor of strategic communications at George Washington University.
A real weirdo
Harris supporters and gay George Takei (Star Trek's Mr. Sulu) also joined the chorus.
“Trump and Vance are too weird for America,” says the doorway-mixing actor. “I even go to Star Trek conventions.”
The story hasn't gone down well on social media, especially for Takei, where users quickly posted photos of him performing lewd acts on two naked men.
As soon as Ms. Harris and her queer allies began their story, photos from the past four years of the Biden administration went viral, as did a video of Ms. Harris and her husband greeting a bearded man in a long gown, as well as a video of Ms. Harris with a drag queen.
In fact, when it comes to weirdness, The White House has assembled a cast of characters that makes The Addams Family look ordinary.
One of Biden's first acts was to appoint a man who identifies as a woman as the Pentagon's transition director, then he appointed “Rachel” Levine (real name Richard) as a “transgender” woman to be the number two in the Department of Health and Human Services. Levine wants to poison and mutilate children with “sex reassignment” medicine.
Indeed, Biden must be bent on forcing “transgender” and homosexual ideologies on Americans, especially by allowing them to serve openly in the military.
Biden's Secretary of Transportation, Pete Buttigieg, thinks he's married to a man, and his “husband,” Chasten, was caught on video seducing a child.
His spokesperson is Karine Jean-Pierre, a lesbian and Haitian immigrant.
Another lucky appointment was that of Sam Brinton, a bald, “non-binary” sadist who hosts spanking seminars and engages in “puppy play.” Brinton, an advocate of underage prostitution, held a Republican position at the Department of Energy until he was arrested for stealing a woman's luggage from an airport conveyor belt.
Biden hired Demetres Daskalakis, a leather-jacketed gay weirdo, to coordinate the federal response to monkeypox, a disease widespread among gay people.
More recently, Biden hired a gay man who sounds like a cross between Freddie Mercury and a member of the Village People as his deputy White House communications director.
Biden has such a penchant for the queer that he allowed an anti-white, pro-Communist dance troupe to perform a perverse performance of The Nutcracker at the White House.
Prior to that, the White House allowed a gay man named Benny Drama (whose real name was Benito Skinner) to bounce around the White House as an “intern” promoting vaccinations against the Chinese virus.
If Trump and Vance were eccentrics, it's unclear what other words could describe the past four years of Biden and Harris.
