After the Musk/Trump rally, there’s a better word for Republicans than ‘weird’

  1. > At this point, though, you have to wonder if “weird” is the right word anymore. Maybe “embarrassing” would be better. The pictures to come out of the event certainly are – one shows Musk in the middle of a jaunty little half-hop while Trump looks on like a disappointed father; another has Musk leaning in to talk to Trump with a look on his face that reads as “finally, the approval my father never gave me”.

    Better how? Because so far nothing does a better job of getting under their skin.

  3. Anytime I see a Tesla I give them a Nazi salute because I assume that’s what they want to see. It’s like the Jeep wave.

    Does this insane behavior actually appeal to anyone who isn’t already voting for this douche bag?

  5. I suggest *alipori*. It’s a Spanish word but the roots are latin.

    It combines *alius* (other) and *pudor* (shame). So it literally means *vicarious embarrasment.*

    Edit: No, wait, it wouldn’t work because they would not understand it 🙁

    I started a list of other words but it was just all the negatives from the dictionary.

    Idk who this “we” is. I’ve known Elon was a fraudulent douchebag since 2010. I lost friends in grad school for saying he’s actually not that great and just wait until he says what he really thinks.

    ‘freaks’ or ‘freakshow’, like how many of their candidates have come out now as blatant nazis?

    Or flat earthers, anti-vaxxer or hurricane conspiracist.

    They are freaks

    Remember when Jack Smith Subpoena Musk for Trump’s Twitter data? Is this Musk playing a clown to not be label a snitch?

    Imagine Musk’s Twitter meltdown if we manage to beat them on November 5th. But that only happens if everybody making jokes in these comments has a plan to vote!

    I still think weird is the best word for them.

    We can call them losers, dorks, douchebags. But weird has that element of disgust, where it goes beyond a playground insult and asks “Why aren’t you normal” to a group of people shouting so hard about how their racist, misogynistic, backwards-fucking-ass thinking is normal and the rest of us are weird for wanting to treat everyone equally

  12. In case you were wondering, the words the article picked were “embarrassing,” “disgusting,” and “pathetic,” before ultimately settling on “losers.”

  13. I mean, it’s a billionaire and a wannabe billionaire talking to blue collar folks and fooling them that they’re all alike.

    The only thing thing they have in common is the racism.

    There was a time I held this man in high esteem. The right one, never the left one. After all he gave humanity electric mobility and could make a rocket come down vertically. It appears he sold his soul to the devil. But probably everyone that rich has.

  15. Sadly, people will forget about the Elon Flop just like they forget about the claim of pet theft consumption. What a bummer.

    The word is “embarrassing” I also feel like we should employ the weaponized “creepy”.

  17. No, “weird” is the perfect balance of accuracy and childishness to hit them where it hurts. Don’t overthink it.
