LOGO Patheos Explore the world's faith through different perspectives on religion and spirituality! Patheos has the views of the prevalent religions and spiritualities of the world.

Am I weird? Are you? Well, if you live a traditionally normal life, a life like vice presidential nominee JD Vance (and billions of others), you now find yourself in the realm of the weird. Yep! If you value family, and especially children, you are WEIRD. Some readers may find this difficult to understand, as family and children have represented the definition of societal normalcy since time immemorial. Now, your intellectual betters (who cannot seem to define the word woman) know for sure the definition of the word weird. Oh, and if you identify as Pro-Life, consider yourself also a creep.

For those who still need evidence, allow me to provide it.

I leave it to the reader to determine if they ultimately qualify as a weird.

Kamala HQ (JD Vance Is a Creep Who Wants to Ban Abortion Nationwide)

Did you know that not supporting and promoting the killing of unborn babies is weird and creepy? Well, to the Harris campaign, and Harris herself, such views get you labeled weird and creepy…

JD Vance’s obsession with controlling women’s most personal health care decisions, for voting against protecting access to IVF, to advocating for tracking women’s menstrual cycles, to calling for a national abortion ban to bar women from travelling to access the care they need, isn’t just bad policy – it’s creepy, it’s unacceptable, and voters won’t stand for it.

Senators Chris Murphy and Brian Schatz

Moreover, Senators Chris Murphy and Brian Schatz, both think it is weird to prioritize America’s future.

Hey, Brian Schatz from Hawaii here. Chris Murphy from Connecticut. This is not our living room, but we’re using this fake living room to talk to you about a super weird idea from J.D. Vance. Yeah, it’s quite weird, but it’s also offensive. J.D. Vance actually said that people with children should be assigned more votes than people without children.

For context, Vance gave this supposed weird political observation in a 2021 speech to the Intercollegiate Studies Institute as a hyperbolic hypothetical to bring home a point about children representing an investment in America’s future. His point?

If you don’t have as much of an investment in the future of this country, maybe you shouldn’t get nearly the same voice.

I fail to see this point as anything approaching weird.

Senator Chuck Schumer Adds Extreme and Erratic to the Mix

Furthermore, Senator Schumer, who supports gender ideology and the participation of males in women’s sports and access to girl’s school restrooms, recently called Vance extreme, weird, and erratic for his traditional beliefs in family and bearing children.

And one more point about this, and that is the addition of JD Vance to this ticket. It’s [an] incredibly bad choice. I think Donald Trump, I know him, and he’s probably sitting and watching the TV, and every day, Vance, it comes out Vance has done something more extreme, more weird, more erratic…

Kamala Harris Joins In

Never one to shy away from distracting voters from her abysmal record, Vice President Harris joined in the labeling of Trump, Vance, and more than half the US population weird. In her first rally after deposing Biden, she said:

You may have noticed Donald Trump has been resorting to some wild lies about my record, and some of what he and his running mate are saying, well, it’s just plain weird, I mean, that’s the box you put that in, right?

Final Thoughts…

To conclude, in the example above, we clearly now reside in a bizzarro 1984 universe where up is down and black is white. In this universe, the word woman is undefined, we celebrate killing the unborn and think traditional family values are weird. It seems that those who existed before five minutes ago also participated in weirdness and thank God! Their weirdness ensured our present existence. May we weird ones continue their legacy and thereby ensure future generations also enjoy being weird.

Thank you!
