Trump staffers are *checks notes* TOTALLY NORMAL.

Them: "BE NORMAL. BE NORMAL. BE NORMAL."

Also them: "Why are they calling us weird??"

But, seriously, it shows they have some awareness that MAGA are, in fact, weird.

@Agatha I saw the quotes pulled out without the linked article first, and I thought it was something from The Onion.

Nope. Actual quotes.

You can’t even make up the weirdness of these folks.

@TheRealDelia

Now, I like to think weird is good. I like weird. I am weird.

So I'm going to use creepy/creeper instead. But I know what others mean.

@Agatha @TheRealDelia
Everyone is weird, they are just a special kind of weird

@Idissent @Agatha There is nuance to the word.

“Unusual” or “Unique” are positive forms, in my book.

“Creepy” and “Disconcerting” is a more apt definition for their brand of weird, I think.
