"Republicans Are Weird"

Republicans Are Weirdrefers to unofficial messaging adopted by the Democratic Party's2024 Presidential Electioncampaign that sought to deride Republican policies in general, and J.D. Vance, in particular, as "weird" as opposed to only "scary" or "dangerous." Minnesota Governor Tim Walz made an appearance on MSNBC where he described key Republican policies, as well as Trump'sseeming fixation on Hannibal Lecterin his campaign speeches, as "weird" in July 2024. This sentiment about Trump was also echoed in a press release from Kamala Harris's presidential campaignthat described Donald Trump as "old and weird." In late July 2024, businessman and Republican Vivek Ramaswamynotably criticized Democrats for adopting "weird" as a messaging tactic, calling it "dumb & juvenile."
