Democrats have found a new favorite insult for Republicans: 'weird.' This trend gained traction after Minnesota Governor Tim Walz began using the term to describe Republican nominees.
The strategy has since been adopted more widely within the Democratic Party, with even Vice Presidential nominee Kamala Harris using it. Senator JD Vance (R-Ohio), the GOP vice presidential nominee, responded to the label by stating his feelings were not hurt by the Democrats' characterization.
This rhetorical shift marks a significant change in how Democrats are choosing to engage with their Republican counterparts, moving away from more traditional political discourse.

Looks like the Dems are running out of substantial arguments if 'weird' is the best they can do against the GOP.
