How Good Is "Weird" as a Line of Attack? (VIDEO) [1]

A lot of attention has lately been paid to how the pro-Democracy forces are going after the would-be Fascist dictator and his allies by calling them "Weird."

Is that a good approach for moving the American electorate to where they need to be for them to vote to save American Democracy?

I've a mixture of thoughts? I share them here.

Please support my effort here — to illuminate the emergency we face now as Americans, and the huge challenges we face longer-term as human civilization.

I would be grateful for any kind of Like, support, follow, subscribe— the usuals.

(But, in terms of my ultimate goal here, what I want most to invite you to do is to check out the integrated picture I present as A BETTER HUMAN STORY.

(On that website, I lay out a coherent. multi-dimensional view of the forces at work in the human world — systematically in writings by a guy trained to be a social scientist and social thinker.

(Believing that this understanding of the human civilization would put some fundamental questions in an importantly different light, I am willing to risk being so bold as to say that I believe this understanding might better enable us to bring under control the destructive forces before we destroy ourselves.

A beneficially “different light,” for example, in showing that “The Ugliness We See in Human History — and in the Human World around us — Does Not Reflect What We Are by Nature.”)

(So if you would be interested if that claim were true, please check it out here.)

But….

*****************

We in America are facing an emergency in the here and now — our own immediate version of the battle between a destructive force (in the form of Fascism), that threatens to overpower and subordinate the forces of Wholeness (for which American Democracy was always a big step forward in the history of civilization, making power the instrument of the people, not the weapon by which the tyrant holds the people down).

Our emergency in the battle between the constructive and destructive forces focuses on the electoral contest between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris. Emergency, because, on the outcome of that election (and that outcome is unknown), depends the survival of the American Republic, a nation governed by the Rule of Law. Democracy vs. Fascism maps pretty perfectly over a good map of what would be reasonable to call Good vs. Evil.

A fight conducted through an election means the warriors are embattled on the field of public opinion. In that fight, the messages are the weapons.

What message will be effective in moving people to vote for the side of Democracy and against the side of Fascism.

In this video, offer my thoughts regarding how good a weapon “weird” is, as the Kamala Harris force seeks to move voters over to the pro-Democracy side?
