The simple fact is, the reason the "weird" label is so effective is precisely because the 200 people the reporter described at the Vance rally are exactly the people that have been told all their life that being sexist, racist, violent assholes just makes them losers.

Trump and the MAGA movement has been their hope for redemption: that, in fact, they really are the bad-ass winners they all bitterly, deeply dreamed they were when they peaked in high school.

And now it's hitting home that maybe everyone in their pathetic life has been right about them all along, orange Daddy isn't going to redeem them, and all they'll have left is their bitterness, loneliness, resentment, and rage.
