The bar was so low all he had to do was order donuts without acting like a serial killer
It was hard for Republicans to compete with The Onion's devastating exposé alleging that Walz' "aw, shucks" persona is merely a facade concealing his true "gee whiz" tendencies.
Link to the article in case anyone else hasn't seen it yet.
When reached for comment, a spokesperson for the Harris-Walz campaign denied the governor had ever lost his temper and told anyone to hold their horses.
The gop only does four things effectively:
Also their main purpose for existing: Benefitting the ownership class. They do that the best.
It worked in making them seem like douche-bags.
Like they needed any help with that lol
Their smear campaign honestly made me like him more and I'm unironically considering moving to Minnesota as a direct result. The only problem is that I'm from the South and snow is scary.
Edit: Y'all are terrible at selling people on coexisting with snow
Not as scary as the south.
The snow and the cold are no joke. Buy yourself some good winter clothing straight off the bat. Don't go for those cheap off brands. Oh no. You want to be warm, you want the good stuff. And remember to layer.
It's all in the socks and a good, warm hat. Wools over cotton, wet cotton from sweat or snow in cold enough weather can be dangerous.
My very first job was in Minnesota and the snow is not what you have to be afraid of.
It's the damn frigid temperatures. My wife and I quit our jobs, broke our lease, packed up and moved to California after one delightful -27F day.
The key is not leave the house when its really cold. Also layers. You can always put on more layers

So it's May, 2017. We're just finishing our third winter in Ottawa, aka Canada's wind-tunnel, and a string of -40 days made this one super harsh. 5ft snow pack around the driveway showed signs of melting on the weekend and the dog poop left by negligent fuckwits is almost visible and ... ah shit, it's two weeks of hard snow. We can barely see through the tears as we realize when we talk about 'fool's summer', hope has made us the fool.
My first day at my new Vancouver-area job was 3 months later.
It’s not that bad. I swear California nights at 40 and humid are worse than 0 and dry.
Snow is easy to drive in if you learn properly and afford yourself extra drive time. Honestly, that old comment from some southern news broadcast is pretty accurate: “If you rarely drive on snow, just pretend you’re taking your grandma to church. There’s a platter of biscuits and sweet tea in glass jars on the back seat. She’s wearing a new dress and holding a crock pot full of gravy.” Just go slow and steady and everything is fine. It’s the folks that think they can still do 60 in their Jeep with 6” of snow and corner like they’re an F1 car on the road that are the problem.
Also, come on up, we’d love to have you! Just be sure you read or watch “How to talk Minnesotan” first. It’s on the test.
Born and raised in MN. Snow gives you a chance to learn how to ski, and isn’t terrible to drive in when you relax and are patient.
I moved from the south to Minnesota in recent years and will never move back. The winters aren't too bad after the first. Finding a knowledgeable local is pretty easy plus the Internet can fill in the gaps.

Most people, similarly, don't know that Stockholm Syndrome isn't about the weather. ;-)
What about the time he stopped to help an old lady push her car out of a snowbank? Did they even think to criticize him for that? I swear, GOP opposition research has gotten lazy.
!truthabouttimwalz@lemmy.world if you want to know the real Tim Walz.
Lol this was a lot more wholesome than I expected
I think it’s hilarious somebody pointed out that he’s younger than Weird Al.
Yeah but so is he
Among all of the people included in the survey, no one finished below Vance.
The couch did.
You think he could finish a couch? I think it would eventually fake it, tell him what a good boy he was, and then roll over and let him sleep in the wet spot.
Vance never lets the couch finish.
According to a poll I saw a while ago he’s MORE POPULAR THAN TAYLOR SWIFT.
I was not aware such a feat was possible.
He should drop an album while he's on top!
He's repairing cars while talking policy.
He never did show us how to replace the vacuum-operated cruise control in his Scout. I was looking forward to seeing how it compared to the same system in my old Jetta.
The father we all wish we had.
I appreciate that, I guess meme, going around that the reason he resonates with so many of us is because he's the father we could have had if Fox News hadn't corrupted him.
BUT MUH TAMPON TIM MEMES
When I first saw it, I thought it was in suport of him until I realized who was posting it
Same thing for "all lives matter" where I thought it was someone agreeing with black lives matter the first time I heard it. Didn't realize someone could get so close to the point and miss it there
Same, I didn't get why All Lives Matter was a bad thing at first. I'm like "yes! we're all humans and everyone matters!" Then I saw who was posting it and had to reaccess.
How are they going to smear a guy that pulled over to ask if I had everything I needed when he saw me changing my tire, checked again on his way back and handed me a cup of coffee with pastry?
Later, he was my neighbor for a while. Came over when he saw me working on projects, let me borrow tools I didn't have, and occasionally he'd borrow one of my tools. Such as a little trailer I had, and one tire had a slow leak, and when he brought it back he had replaced the valve stem and greased the wheel bearings, pumped up all four tires, and took it through the wash.
None of this is true, but like you could try to talk shit about a guy like Walz, but to anyone that knows him, what kind of dude he is, you sound fucking dumb and weird.
You know when like some new friend comes along and privately tries to talk shit to you about one of your old friends, not knowing that you're old friends? That's how it feels hearing any of these god damn super weirdos talk shit about a genuinely nice, honorable dude like Walz.
A friend of mine was telling me about it, said Fox News was going on about how they "don't like the way he moves." Whatever that means.
"Twitchy Tim" is what Fox News decided on.
Why do these people always have to have some stupidass nickname for someone that’s not based on anything related to their platform or policies?
Because some of them mentally never left high school. So they pick 'insults" that were "funny" and made them "cool", back when they peaked, and those appeal to the rest of the faux-news followers who did the same.
