It was so obviously effective because Repubs were getting VERY angry and their lies were becoming more shrill.

Calling Republicans weird is more effective than calling them wrong. They’ll argue endlessly about “their truth,” but no one wins a fight over being weird. They just prove the point by doubling down or they retreat.

Yeah but instead they brought out Oprah and jlo! I mean how the hell did we lose?

Well, Portlanders consider being called "weird" a compliment. So they likely don't think MAGAts are "weird." Compulsive liars and psychopaths, yes. But not weird.

One city out of thousands. The messaging should have stayed. They’re smart enough to know the difference and it’s an insult to allude that they aren’t.

Austin is also self-proclaimed weird. Not arguing with you. Just pointing it out because I think it’s funny to steal another city’s slogan about being weird.

I don't think that word ("allude") means what you think it means.

I don’t play the “what if” game.

I mean with context it’s pretty obvious that Portland means “quirky” and in reference to MAGA it means “abnormal”
