4. "Weird" is an effective shorthand - From the article:

"It’s about perception and the cognitive shortcuts we use to process information as we sort our world into neat categories that make sense."

8. Because More Than Anything, These Guys Want To Be Feared

Labeling them as "weird" robs them of their fearsomeness. Because who could be afraid of someone weird? It's brilliant in its simplicity. And better yet, it's WORKING. They are flailing desperately looking for ANY kind of attack that will stick to Kamala, and now being called weird has thrown them for a loop. When something is working, you ride it for all it's worth.
