I've seen some people getting genuinely uncomfortable at the recent discourse. Just wanted to point out there's more than one kind of weird.

Do they accept being called weird? I think you give them entirely too much credit... but that's just my opinion.
no, they absolutely dont. giving them an option of 'good weird' is going to derail that
I think the point is that Republicans detest the idea of being weird no matter what, so they would rage at the suggestion of being a good weird anyway. To them "good weird" is an oxymoron, even though they are actually very weird and not in any kind of good way.
yeah that makes sense. i was envisioning them attempting to 'own' it by jumping into 'good weird' with both feet.
but as someone else pointed out also, thats prolly giving them too much sefl-aware credit
They've been bullying the good weirdos for decades, there's no backtracking now!
I get that. I don't think they're capable of that level of self reflection. To them, weird is BAD. It's being a part of the "out" group, which is anathema to them.
