    I feel like it was the kind of thing that worked better before articles were written about it and then literally every article and comment since then has included the word.

    Openly talking about it as a strategy feels like it’s turning it into our version of “Let’s Go Brandon” in a way.

      I thought the same thing, but it has sparked a huge discussion about if the word “weird” is a good label for Trump, Vance, and the most fervent MAGA supporters. When you’re fighting a cult, I have a feeling it works.
