Comment on The Real Reason Trump and Vance Hate Being Called ‘Weird’

I think the reason why it hits so hard is because it’s an attack that lands under their own ideology. To them, being outside the normal is the worst thing you can be. They demonize everyone that they perceive as outside the normal. So, when they’re accused of not being normal, they take that very seriously.
Most other attacks against them don’t bother them as much since they’re based in other ideologies and don’t really land under their own ideology.

Well put. Being outside the normal is the worst they can be, but they also know, they’re so far from normal they only have a tenuous grasp on the concept.
They know they’re fucking weirdos and it pains them lol
