I saw him on Jonathan Capehart's show this weekend, and I love the guy! He's a great avatar for Democrats, and I hope they use him fully on the way to election day.
about that meme: don't they know that the bunny has a mean streak a mile wide although I don't know what the black bunny in front of a wooden bucket is supposed to symbolize if anything?Is the toddler just terrified of live animals?
The single most powerful driving force among rank and file Republicans is fear, a deep soul crushing kind of fear. It shows up in my rural area with banks of motion detecting lights, bulk purchases of security cameras and guns (lots of guns). This is endemic amongst very poor and poorly educated white people. These are my neighbors. Republican politicians know exactly what buttons to push to magnify and exploit that fear. The problem for them and the rest of us is that a frightened paranoid mob isn't something easily controlled once they've taken off.
The guy is the perfect working class shlubb, a public school teacher, kind of lumpy in his appearance, so so practical. The is vintage. No histrionics. "They are weird."
I'm a Minnesotan and I love him very much even if I'd rather go on a date with the also lovable Gretchen Wilmer.
Been thinking about "The economy is good but people say it isn't" thing. I started with the culprit being the press, which reports on what people are saying instead of what is actually happening, and therefore creates self-perpetuating myths. Also the GOP keeps hammering on the terrible economy because they're fucking liars and everything has to be awful because Biden.
But I think we are missing something, and that something is inflation. Even though the inflation rate is down, and wage growth is outstripping price growth so it shouldn't matter, prices are still noticeably higher now than when Biden took office. When you go to the grocery store, you see that. That's all most people probably need, in the context of the other shit.
It'll take time for that to run its course, and there are headwinds. Anyway, that's my socio economic theory about all this.
And inflation affects erybody, whereas unemployment in recent history has rarely gone above 10%. So if you have to cut back on your vacation (or medical care) because of the cost of eggs and gas...grr argh...damn you Joe Biden! I guess.
As a former Minnesotan, I couldn't be more proud of Tim Walz and all the good stuff they are doing in Minnesota to *actually* take care of women and children in the state.
Nice try, but that man is clearly Popehat.
No, republicans are not "weird", they are EVIL. Use the right word.
Psychopathic, sociopathic, dumbasses: all three work for me, thank you.
Weird is too kind. Psychopathic (interchangeable with sociopathic in some instances) dumbasses is better.
Weird is one word for it.
Sociopathic is another.
Deliberately cruel as a means of extending the 400-year run of white hegemony.

Key phrase in post, "Makes sense to us" is diametrically opposed to conservative thought.
RUN AWAY!
"at the end of the day, Americans are better than that.”
God I fucking hope so.
Have those kids tried a holy hand grenade?
We know that Charles III has one:

No need for extreme measures yet. 'Tis only a flesh wound.

They're terrified of everything they are told to be terrified of by people who use it to control them.
And note that the bunny is black.

Yeah, any woman would be on the pillory for making such obvious statements. Weird deplorables are weird and deplorable.

Liked this one, nice job!
