I’ve always been kinda weird and for most of my life, I’ve been awkward and haven’t fit in well in a lot of places. I’ve always been an outsider. I fit in better today than in the past but that’s probably because I accepted my weirdness and decided that being weird is a good thing.
When you’re younger and in denial about being weird, you try to be normal which only makes you weirder. You just have to own it and realize it is a good thing. It would be boring if we were all normal. The best thing about being weird for me is that it makes for better cartoons. I think I’m weird to other cartoonists.
I’m here, I’m weird, get over it….and then Tim Walz had to mess that up for me and label the Republicans as weird.
And yes, they are weird…but they’re a bad weird. They’re an icky freaky creepy kind of weird. Donald Trump is weird as in he’s a freak of nature. He’s barely human and as others have described, he’s more of a collection of bad personality traits than he is human.
JD Vance is extremely weird. Who does an internet search for dolphin porn? Seriously.
And North Carolina Lt. Governor and current GOP gubernatorial nominee Mark Robsinson is weird as fuck. Being a Black MAGAt is kinda weird but then again, anyone in the Trump Cult has something wrong with him or her.
Like Trump and JD, Robinson is a hateful person. There is no tolerance for choice…except when he’s paying for an abortion. He has no tolerance for transgener people…except when he’s masturbating to transgender porn. He has no tolerance for Civil Rights and he’s called MLK “Martin Lucifer Coon.” He has no tolerance for “men” in women’s restrooms…probably because he’s peeping on those restrooms. Republicans talk about being the party of freedom but Robinson wants to bring slavery back and perhaps purchase a few for himself.
We’re weird without being gross. Those guys are gross. They’re disgusting. Have you seen Laura Loomer? MAGAts are fugly inside and out.
So they’re all weird which makes it bad when the good weirdos identify as weird. Can we find a new word for “normal” weirdos? I don’t want to say I’m weird and give the impression I watch dolphin porn and hang out with Black Nazis.
But we’re good with words. Liberals are so good with descriptors that Republicans steal them. Get to work, people.

I also hate that I can't call myself weird anymore. Next they will take over "geek" and "dork".
I decided my brain is just wired differently.
