today’s example of why modern Conservatives are weird people
“Tampon Tim is hands down the best political nickname ever,” tweeted conservative commentator Liz Wheeler. “It’s so… savagely effective. In one word tells you EVERYTHING you need to know about Tim Walz’s dangerous radicalism.”
The moniker refers to a law that Walz, the governor of Minnesota, signed last year, requiring public schools to provide menstrual products — including pads and tampons — to students in 4th through 12th grades.
Tim Walz’s dangerous radical agenda of…providing menstrual products to adolescent kids that might need them? lolol
I mean, it’s better than being so weird that they fuck couches.
See, this is exactly why the whole “weird” shit is a mistake. They’re straight up declaring it’s “dangerous” to take care of children, and all you can think to contribute is the lie about jd fucking a couch? You really can’t be bothered to address the child abuse and fear mongering? Just shitty memes?
I don’t know, the memes seem to be working…
If “the meme’s” work better than helping children, then we’ve already lost.
Memes have been working better than reality, for thousands of years at this point.
The popularization of democracy, and the multiple orders of magnitude faster and wider communication methods, have only made it more obvious.
Tippecanoe and Tyler, too!
Elected a US president based on that one slogan.
I get ya but lets face it. before trump they were at best high school leve and with him they have devolved to grade school. Its really the only way to deal with them.
Then he wins, no matter what happens in Nov.
not really. he already won with the alternative facts and blackmailing zelensky and firing a missile at at iranian general and all. We can’t just ignore all the childish behavior and hope they grow up.
“ignore it” and “do the same thing” aren’t the only options.
The child abuse and fear mongering are things that they’re proud of and believe are justified. Trying to address it just makes them feel more powerful.
Calling them “weird” works because their whole ideology is based on them being the normal ones. If you take that away, you also take away their entire (false) claim to authority.
I disagree with the tactic at large, but this wasn’t even that. They weren’t taking the wind out of the sails of someone defending the claims. They just brought up the couch shit immediately after seeing people talking about the well being of children. People are losing the thread and quickly.
