I have realized over the past few days that this whole "weird" thing is raising my anxiety. The people it's aimed at might just embrace it. (Remember "deplorable"?) And I have spent a lot of my life learning to love being "weird". Learning to stop trying to bend myself into fitting others' expectations so they won't give me That Look and say, "You are WEIRD..."
How do we tell kids it's okay to be weird while they also hear, "Don't vote for the weird guy"?

@weirdfizz My answer to that has been to mentally bifurcate weird into "Bjork weird" and "Stephen Miller weird". Tell your kids to be embrace "Bjork weird" and eschew "Stephen Miller weird".
@Boyceaz That's a really good specification.
