I’ve seen a lot of ink spilled recently over the Harris campaign’s recent adoption of the tactic of calling Trump and his cronies “weird”. There’s a lot of hand-wringing over the Democrats ceding the high ground or being unserious about serious matters, but this article, and especially the source material it links to by Sdrja Popovic (a non-violent Serbian revolutionary during the Milošević regime) about the power of humor in non-violent movements, really changed my thinking on this.

    Mostly good article. The end is wrong, though. People do care about policy. Any decent political journalist knows this.
