Friedman says we shouldn’t say it. Gene Robinson says it’s okay. I read some folks here saying it soft-pedals the real threat they are.

Me, I think Gov. Walz summed up the current GOP neatly with the moniker, but if it’s shunned by the pundit class or played like Brat, no big. It’s also entirely appropriate to call Trump and his supporters

aberrant, abnormal, astonishing, atypical, bizarre, curious, different, eccentric, erratic, extraordinary, fantastic, freaky, far-out, fucked up, funny, idiosyncratic, inexperienced, ignorant, irregular, mystifying, oddball, odd, off, off-kilter, offbase, outlandish, outside, out-of-left-field, out-of-the-way, peculiar, perplexing, pixilated, quaint, remarkable, singular, unaccountable, unaccustomed, uncanny, uncommon, unheard of, unusual

though, as I say, I’m okay with “weird.”
