How did it work? It seemed like the kind of thing that might have worked but as the kids say, meh. Leon's $ is irresistible. Clever snark just gets washed down the same drain as any other tactic, forgotten in a couple weeks.
Yes! There was a three-week period in the summer when it felt like the GOP was just flailing, incapable of doing anything because its leading lights were apoplectic over being called weird. And then it just... stopped?
I'm still so mad that Walz and Harris dropped the "weird" stuff after three or four weeks of it working back in the summer. Those weeks were the only time I felt like Harris had a chance of winning. Once they stopped, it was over. Dems gotta stop hiring consultants who tell them to be passive
What they have to stop doing is playing defense. Dems are ALWAYS on their back foot, reeling from unexpected attacks. They need to play offense, go on the attack, get mean. Start saying nasty shit. "Weird" was the perfect example. We could have won if they'd kept it up
What we need are ELECTED Dems, people with genuine power and money, going on the offensive. It's not enough to have millions of anguished Dems/liberals yelling "FUCK TRUMP," because that can be dismissed as "TDS" by them. We need Dem representatives going HAM offensive toward the GOP in public

I also call them "virgins" and that seems to really hit a sore spot.
Ignore the shit framing by the Right, repeated by the media, giving their lies the patina of gravitas
That's what Republicans do and it's proved effective
I mean, Dems can literally start making comparisons to the movie Idiocracy FFS
