It’s Weird Out There And Getting Weirder

It’s always amazing to me how the Left is able to organize and unite around even the smallest things. They use exactly the same language, the same talking points. A few years ago there was the “Journo-list” email group of journalists whose members agreed beforehand on how the day’s news would get covered. That's why it seldom matters which channel you watch…it’s all the same. Today is no exception. For the past 18 hours or so, we have ceased to be existential threats to democracy and have become weird. I must have seen or heard it 100 times today. Weird. It must have been focused-grouped. But the incredible thing is how quickly, uniformly and thoroughly it has been adopted. It’s not just the pols and their MSM mouthpieces. That's to be expected. But it’s everywhere. Local news and the comment sections of internet articles … even personal Instagrams. Do these folks get to do any independent thinking? Or are they required to submit entirely to the hive mind? Joe Biden was playing 3-D chess until the hive mind determined he was mentally impaired. The pirouette was flawless. Kamala Harris was a cringeworthy meme until she became the savior of democracy. Now she’s not a radical progressive… she’s normal and we are weird.

Weird.

    Isn't it great that 'weird' is just one syllable? That makes it easier to say and insert again and again. Sort of like 'parse' and 'trad' and 'brat' and 'chill.'

    It's the Iron Law of Woke Projection: the left always accuses its opponents of what it is guilty of itself.
