The Democrats’ use of “weird” turns the Republicans’ self-image on its head. For years, the GOP has positioned itself as the party of “real Americans,” fighting to reestablish “real” American values. “Weird” points out how many of their positions, including but not limited to their antiabortion stance and historic refusal to support broader access to health- and childcare, put them at odds with a majority of Americans.
Weird is a good way to call out "minority rule" without using technical jargon like "minority rule". Also, on a gut level, have you heard unedited speeches from these folks? Deeply weird.
