The term 'weird' has become a central theme in the current U.S. presidential race, primarily driven by Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz's characterization of Donald Trump and his running mate JD Vance. This label has been effectively weaponized by Vice President Kamala Harris and her campaign, leading to increased online engagement and media coverage. Republicans have attempted to counter by using the term 'weird' against Harris and stigmatizing LGBTQ communities, but the tactic has so far favored the Democrats. Conservative voices acknowledge the impact of the 'weird' label, recognizing its visceral appeal. This strategic shift marks a departure from the Democrats' traditional high-road approach, embracing a more direct and mocking tone. The 'weird' narrative has permeated political discourse, influencing both campaign strategies and public perceptions.
