There are good people.
There are bad people.
There's good weird.
There's bad weird.
Context is everything. When we're talking about 'them' we know which weird we mean.
I think you're right to be careful about the use of words but the damage done by Trump and his base sadly cannot be undone by taking the high road.
People respond to shorthand. I might not have chosen "weird" but bad behaviour shd have been called out much earlier so let's not quibble now.
