Democrats Launch Their WEIRD Line Of Attack Against Conservatives

by Travis Mateer

With the help of their Mighty Wurlitzer, Democrats are busy with their new WEIRD line of attack against conservatives. From the link:

The word of the moment is “weird.”

That’s the term floating around about former president and presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump and his running mate, Sen. J.D. Vance. Pioneered as an attack line by Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, “weird” encapsulates the peculiar position of our modern-day Republican Party. It wants voters to support a singularly unappetizing duo, one of them prone to monologues about Hannibal Lecter and sharks, the other hating on “childless cat ladies.”

Is this a joke? No, it’s not a joke. Democrats appear to really think depicting Vance and Trump as WEIRD is going to get traction, which means these idiots don’t even understand their own base.

To emphasize how clueless this line of attack is, here’s a blog post from 2010 about the KEEP IT WEIRD slogan coming to Missoula:

There’s no doubt the Zoo has earned its weird designation. But I refuse to adopt the “Keep Missoula weird” slogan, because it’s a stolen one. Perhaps that’s not common knowledge here (though I find that hard to believe these days, with the Internets and whatnot), but it originated in Austin, for many of the same reasons it fits Missoula.

I first heard of the slogan when I spent several weeks in the Texas capital a few summers ago as part of an internship residency. Austin is to Texas what Missoula is to Montana (OK, it’s probably the other way around, but same diff), and it definitely fits the bill as weird. Especially compared with the rest of Texas (or so I hear — I’m sort of afraid to experience “the rest of Texas”).

So to me, using the stolen slogan just because it “works” defies the very cause it’s perpetuating, to “keep Missoula weird.” Maybe this is part of a larger scheme by someone trying to capitalize on the slogan’s popularity in Austin (apparently Boulder, Portland and Louisville have adopted the slogan, too, and I can’t imagine it’s not copyrighted), but I still don’t like it. I’m all for keeping Missoula weird, but let’s try to keep it original, too.

I didn’t know Austin was where this slogan originated, but I’m also not surprised. You see, I specialize in delving into the weird way this world actually works, and Austin is a location where the weirdness is pretty damn dark, which makes me think of this quote from Hunter S. Thompson:

Later this week, at Western Montana News, I’ll be writing about my attempt to track down a rumor regarding a supposed effort to help those living out of vehicles. I’ll also include a little perspective on our former placeholder Mayor, Jordan Hess, and his new role as CEO of public transit in Missoula. Will Hess be able to handle the SLOPED SURFACES I’ve been warning Mountain Line about for six years now?

Speaking of sloped surface and government agencies, I noticed a curious article in our LOCAL newspaper about the Secret Service training center and the “tweaks” that will be made, post-assassination attempt on Trump. Before I quote from that hilarious article, here’s a quote from a Nazi worth considering:

From the link (emphasis mine):

At an installation in Laurel, nestled among government research facilities, all U.S. Secret Service agents go through months of intensive training for their “zero-fail” mission of protecting U.S. leaders.

Although the agency’s training operations and protection strategies have long been considered top-of-the-line, there will likely be tweaks as authorities investigate the security pitfalls that led to a gunman being able to fire at former President Donald Trump, striking the Republican candidate in the ear and killing an attendee at a rally this month in Butler, Pennsylvania.

Tweaks and security PITFALLS? What a fucking joke. Even more of a joke, the woman who presided over the security clusterfuck was the LEAD AGENT running this training facility. Isn’t that WEIRD?

Cheatle, who said she took “full responsibility for the security lapse,” was once the special agent in charge of the facility, handling “all aspects of training and career development” after being appointed to lead it in 2016, according to the Secret Service’s online biography of her.

The national media, combined with the conspicuous non-results from online search engines, isn’t weird, it’s a conscious attempt to influence the presidential election. Also, it won’t work, but keep trying, you Wurlitzer-banging morons. I’m sure Barbara Streisand is cheering you on.

A key Google feature is failing to show results for the attempted assassination of Donald Trump — drawing claims from the former president’s son that Big Tech companies are trying to influence the election.

It has also sparked a Senate investigation.

Google users were surprised to discover that the search engine’s “Autocomplete” was apparently omitting suggested results related to the assassination attempt against Donald Trump.

The anomaly quickly caught the attention of social media users, including a Texas congressman and Donald Trump Jr., who began sharing screenshots of their own examples showing Google search suggestions coming up empty for queries about the deadly Pennsylvania rally shooting.

There’s no mention of Trump even when the entire search term “the assassination attempt of” is typed into the Google homepage search bar.
