Democratic Party of Torrance County Newsletter

Good Morning Fellow Democrats:



Just when we thought the Republican Party couldn't get any stranger, their nominee for president anointed J.D. Vance as his running mate. Let's face it, it's just like Governor Walz of Minnesota said, they're just weird. And boy has that caught on! Weird is the perfect description for the Republican ticket and their strategy for the upcoming election. And it's the word we should use every time they advance another weird proposal or make another weird statement. Most Americans will agree with it and, best of all, tRump and Vance hate being labeled weird. Ironic, isn't it, when tRump has made a living labeling people. 


After Governor Walz provided the accurate label, social media was afire with the "weird" word. When most of us hear that something or someone is weird, we think of strange or odd- something bizarre. I don't think there's any doubt that the two top Republicans fit the definition of weird. Judge for yourself.


  • Obama isn't a citizen of the United States;
  • Harris turned black after years of claiming she was Indian;
  • They want to take your books away;
  • They want to be in your medical exam room;
  • They believe every woman should have children and that couples with children should have greater voting powers than childless folks;
  • They believe in taking away a woman's right to determine her own health issues;
  • There's fear of sharks, relationships with couches, and dolphins;
  • They call their opponents "childless cat ladies";
  • They defend 12-year-olds getting married;
  • They think 10-year-old rape victims should give birth;
  • They market gold plated sneakers and tRump branded bibles;
  • Rudy Giuliani, one of his main mouth pieces, gives an insane news conference outside a landscaping business with hair dye running down his face;
  • They think Hannibal Lecter was a great man;


Okay, I'm done. The list could go on forever. Decide for yourself if "weird" is the right descriptor for these two guys. If you think it is, use it every time you can - answer every argument that some right-wing MAGA makes with one word - "Weird".


Fair is fair. If they can label opponents as Sleepy, Little Marco, Low Energy, Crooked, we can certainly use an appropriate label for them. Weird.


STAND UP! PUSH BACK! VOTE! GET INVOLVED!
