    IIRC 2nd right isn’t weird. He’s mocking the differently abled or some woman (journalist?) who was hurt or something.

    oh yeah, that’s not weird behaviour, who hasn’t done that while campaigning for public office.

      It’s a lot of things, but “weird”? I’ve never really described mocking people for things they can’t control as “weird.” That just makes it sound odd or unusual, it downplays the real problem which is that it’s cruel and wrong. Being a bad person isn’t just some “lol how quirky” situation. It’s a choice.

        I think it’s not only cruel and mean, but also weird that someone mocks a disabled person by imitating a caricature of a disability.

          I just don’t think “weird” is among even the first 5 words when I think of describing someone mocking people like that. Childish, ableist, shitty, mean, wrong. Things like that.

          I think we’re spinning our wheels here ultimately. I just think describing a truly shitty bigoted action as “weird” makes it sound borderline silly/whimsical and doesn’t communicate the gravity of the act.

              Oh come on. Do you think this is going to change minds on the right? This “starter pack“ is for all of us already against Trump to laugh at with each other. It’s not exactly changing hearts and minds lol

        That just makes it sound odd or unusual,

        That’s exactly what is meant by “weird”.
