The piece reflects on \u2064various changes, including evolving views on gender and sexuality, and expresses concern about the decline of established moral \u200cstandards, suggesting\u200c that these developments contribute to societal chaos. The author emphasizes the importance of maintaining values that foster unity and stability within society, highlighting a\u200d perceived threat to traditional celebrations and customs. The article culminates in a critique of\u200c cultural shifts that prioritize superficiality and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/martin-scorsese-hits-back-the-art-of-cinema-is-being-devalued\/\" title=\"Martin Scorsese Hits Back: The Art Of Cinema Is Being Devalued\">lowest common denominator<\/a>, concluding with a\u2064 reflection on Vance&#8217;s\u200d journey from adversity to a successful political career, which is\u200b deemed &#8220;weird&#8221; in today\u2019s context.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Democrats have been trying very hard, particularly over the past week, to convince American voters that their candidate, like her predecessor, is something she&rsquo;s not. Whereas before they tried to convince us Joe Biden had a pulse, now they&rsquo;re claiming Kamala Harris is a competent, eloquent, and effective leader.<\/p>\n<p>The Democrats&rsquo; challenge to rebrand Kamala Harris and divert attention away from her slew of failed policies and incoherent word salads is nothing short of monumental. To enforce their feeble attempts, they&rsquo;re now pushing the narrative that Republicans, particularly their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/kamala-harris-backed-bail-fund-freed-alleged-domestic-abuser-now-accused-of-murder\/\" title=\"Kamala Harris-Backed Bail Fund Freed Alleged Domestic Abuser Now Accused Of Murder\">vice presidential nominee<\/a> J.D.

Democrats simply have been pushing the boundaries of normal for so long that time-honored principles and virtues now seem foreign.<\/p>\n<p>First, they convinced women that going into boardrooms, abandoning family pursuits, and ingesting hormones or killing babies so they could have sex like men were normal.<\/p>\n<p>Then they convinced us homosexuality was normal.<\/p>\n<p>Then it moved to men dressing like women is natural &mdash; nothing to be concerned about.<\/p>\n<p>Now it&rsquo;s boys and girls completely wanting to be something they can&rsquo;t be through life-altering drugs and surgeries.

As much as the left tries to convince voters that a Republican administration would put all non-heteronormative-anything-other than-white-and-fit-people in a concentration camp, most know this is a wild hyperbole. We should embrace the eccentric, the off-the-beaten-path, and the unique and welcome them into society. But never, ever should we consider <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2022\/11\/30\/meet-sam-brinton-non-binary-biden-official-arrested-over-stolen-suitcase\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">men stealing women&rsquo;s clothing<\/a>, indulging in <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/NoVA_Campaigns\/status\/1601302770761760768\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">animal costume<\/a> sexual fetishes, or engaging in <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2024\/07\/01\/california-cops-stand-idle-pride-parade-pee-children-san-francisco-gay\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">lewd acts in public<\/a> anything less than psychological pathologies.<\/p>\n<p>But as Jonathan Pageau so brilliantly outlines in his series titled &ldquo;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/end-of-the-world-jonathan-pageau-teams-up-with-dailywire-for-new-series-on-navigating-chaotic-times\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The End of the World<\/a>,&rdquo; transposing the weird and the normal is not a wise path for a well-functioning, liberal society. The norms, morals, and traditions that bind a society together provide a stable foundation for thriving diverse communities that, despite their differences, gather to celebrate and promote a common good.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;We&rsquo;re moving into a world that is so controlling the assault on all our holidays, the assault on our origin, the assault on all the things which tend to bind us together,&rdquo; says Pageau. I&rsquo;m pretty sure we&rsquo;re already there.<\/p>\n<p>The chaos we are witnessing now is a result of tearing to pieces the principles and values that used to guide Western civilization.<\/p>\n<p>When standards of morality are no longer held higher than others, society begins to cater to the lowest common denominator. The base. The vapid. The superficial and the saccharine. You don&rsquo;t have to look far to find examples of this, just turn on your TV. Kamala Harris&rsquo; recent rally in Atlanta with <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/ImMeme0\/status\/1818620090348192197\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Megan Thee Stallion<\/a> also provides an excellent demonstration.<\/p>\n<p>Only in the new normal could a man who survived a drug-riddled, abusive, and impoverished childhood, making his way to Harvard Law and eventually becoming a VP candidate, be considered &ldquo;weird.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>It&rsquo;s worth noting that Vance was initially embraced as a hero by the left when he released his autobiographical story about overcoming his Appalachia upbringing, <em>Hillbilly Elegy<\/em>. Now that he&rsquo;s enemy No. 1, the only thing they have on him &mdash; a man married to what the left would call a &ldquo;woman of color&rdquo; with biracial kids &mdash; is that he is &ldquo;weird.&rdquo; They certainly can&rsquo;t use the go-to slur they&rsquo;ve been using for Trump for the past eight years: racist.<\/p>\n<p>I spent last weekend at two huge country music concerts. I&rsquo;m sure all the people dressed up in boots, drinking beer, putting their arms around each other, and singing songs about Jesus, love, home, and heartbreak would have been strange to someone like Kamala Harris or the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2024\/07\/30\/politics\/video\/white-dudes-for-harris-raises-4-million-for-campaign-digvid\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">&ldquo;White  Dudes<\/a> for Kamala&rdquo; gang. They probably would have been baffled by the lack of colorful flags and singular displays of red, white, and blue and stars and stripes; perplexed that Luke Combs and Jordan Davis didn&rsquo;t throw condoms out to the audience or parade around naked, crooning about the patriarchy! Because real love, fun, and unity are just so, well &hellip; weird.<\/p>\n<p>If Kamala Harris and the Democrats&rsquo; vision for America is the new normal, then it&rsquo;s high time to #MakeAmericaWeirdAgain.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>      Jennifer Galardi spent decades as a health and wellness expert and writes about health, culture, and policy.

While they once tried to assure us that Biden was alive and engaged, they are now asserting that Kamala Harris is a capable, articulate, and impactful leader. The task of reshaping Kamala Harris&#8217;s image and shifting focus away from her numerous unsuccessful policies and confusing statements is an enormous undertaking for the Democrats. To support their weak efforts, they are now promoting the idea that Republicans\u2014especially vice presidential nominee J.D. Vance\u2014are &#8220;weird,&#8221; as if this were a serious criticism.<\/p>\n<p>In reality, Republicans aren&#8217;t weird; rather, Democrats have stretched the definition of normalcy for so long that traditional values now appear unusual. Initially, they persuaded women that entering corporate environments at the expense of family life and engaging in extreme medical procedures for reproductive freedom was standard behavior. Then came the normalization of homosexuality followed by acceptance of men dressing as women without concern. Now we see children wanting to undergo drastic changes through hormones and surgeries\u2014a situation deemed completely acceptable.<\/p>\n<p>This shift has coincided with alarming rates of mental health issues like depression and anxiety alongside a 51% obesity rate\u2014all part of today&#8217;s so-called normal life experiences. I am not advocating for these individuals to be ostracized from society; despite leftist claims suggesting a Republican administration would target non-heteronormative individuals harshly\u2014a gross exaggeration\u2014most people understand this isn&#8217;t true. We should welcome diversity in all its forms but must also recognize behaviors such as men wearing women&#8217;s clothing or engaging in public indecency as signs of psychological issues.<\/p>\n<p>As Jonathan Pageau insightfully discusses in his series &#8220;The End of the World,&#8221; blurring lines between what is considered weird versus normal can lead societies astray from functioning effectively within liberal frameworks. The shared norms and traditions essential for cohesive communities are being undermined by current trends which prioritize chaos over stability.<\/p>\n<p>The disorder we observe today stems from dismantling foundational principles once central to Western civilization&#8217;s guidance system. When moral standards lose significance compared to others, society tends toward mediocrity\u2014the trivial or superficial becomes prevalent\u2014and examples abound on television screens everywhere you look.<\/p>\n<p>Kamala Harris\u2019s recent rally alongside Megan Thee Stallion exemplifies this new norm where an individual who overcame significant adversity\u2014including drug abuse\u2014to reach Harvard Law School can be labeled \u201cweird.\u201d Ironically enough, J.D. Vance was initially celebrated by progressives when he published his memoir about rising above his Appalachian roots but has since become vilified simply because he does not fit into their narrative anymore; all they can muster against him now is calling him \u201cweird,\u201d unable even to resort back to labeling him racist due solely because he\u2019s married with biracial children.<\/p>\n<p>Last weekend I attended two large country music concerts filled with attendees dressed casually enjoying each other&#8217;s company while singing heartfelt songs about love and loss\u2014an experience likely foreign or strange to someone like Kamala Harris or her supporters who might expect more flamboyant displays instead! If her vision represents our future norm then perhaps it\u2019s time we start advocating for #MakeAmericaWeirdAgain.<\/p>\n<p>Jennifer Galardi has spent years working as a health expert while writing on topics related both culture-wise &amp; policy-wise; she serves currently at The Epoch Times among other outlets including The New York Sun &amp; American Spectator along with various health publications online too!
