You should be terror-stricken. You should be afeared. Tim Walz’s masculinity is so overwhelmingly awesome that it should strike fear in the hearts of Republican and Independent Men (I am inclusive.). Tim Walz is a Public Servant, Hunter, Sharpshooter, Teacher, Coach, Army Veteran and Icon of Manliness. He is Kamalalalala’s choice for Vice President. He is coming for your guns and you should quake. You piffle poseur men.

We may call Tim Walz a Blue Falcon because he abandoned his soldiers just before deployment. But, we focus far too much on honoring commitments, having integrity and taking care of those within your purview. Pish posh. We have it all wrong. We are too focused on our fears.

I read two articles recently that had to do with Tampon Tim, his masculinity and his gun grabbing. The first article was by Francis Wilkinson of Bloomberg Opinion:

Tim Walz’s masculinity is terrifying to Republicans

Oh stop. It’s too funny. Francis wrote:

At their packed campaign launch in Philadelphia on Tuesday, Harris lauded “Coach” Walz, honored his veteran status and beamed with pride that Walz “was known as one of Capitol Hill’s best marksmen, winning a bipartisan sharpshooting contest year after year.”

Those traditional manly traits are threatening enough on their own. But if such a marksman, state-title-winning football coach and regular guy can happily play second fiddle to a Black woman running for president, then what does that say about MAGA’s efforts to reverse-engineer the 21st century? After all, if a middle-aged, heterosexual White guy who likes to hunt doesn’t have to live in constant fear of losing status and doesn’t need traditional gender and racial hierarchies to validate his life choices, then what does he need Donald Trump and JD Vance for?

That’s a terrifying question for a Republican ticket that offers little beyond resentment, rage and a promise to restrict the freedom and democratic power of its opponents. It explains why Vance immediately began smearing Walz’s military record, claiming — without evidence, of course — that Walz had “abandoned” his unit when he ran for Congress before the unit was deployed to Iraq.

What is the is? Is this supposed to make me vote for Harris. How does Francis Wilkinson have a job. pic.twitter.com/n9cO3lNy3T

Francis ended with this cut:

In the late 1980s, GOP Senator Orrin Hatch of Utah called Democrats “the party of homosexuals.”

Remarkably, more than three decades later, it wouldn’t be a surprise to hear a GOP politician make a similar claim today. The Republican Party, fossilized, regressive, wallowing in lazy bigotry, is pointed to the past. Harris, running for the future, inflames the fears that govern MAGA.

Walz is dangerous to Trump and Vance precisely because he has the capacity to calm such fears. Yet if Harris openly inflames, Walz also subtly indicts. He’s not frightened of women, afraid of Black people or terrified of the future. Why are you?

I would submit that it is the Liberal/Progressive/Democrat Party that is “fossilized, regressive and wallowing in lazy bigotry”. I am bragging when I say my Husband is the most manly man I know. He doesn’t hunt, fish or sharpshoot. He doesn’t wear plaid shirts. He is steady and he honors his commitments. So nerts to Francis.

The second article I read is from The Federalist by John R. Lott:

Behind Tim Walz’s ‘Hunter’ Facade Is A Plan To Take Your Guns

Mr. Lott wrote:

“Ispent 25 years in the Army and I hunt,” Gov. Tim Walz, D-Minn., declared in 2018. “I’ve been voting for common sense legislation that protects the Second Amendment, but we can do background checks, we can do CDC research, we can make sure that we don’t reciprocal carry among states. And we can make sure those weapons of war, that I carried in war, is the only place where those weapons are allowed to be carried.” In just a few sentences, Walz made false claims about assault weapons, background checks, Centers for Disease Control (CDC) research, and reciprocal carry.

First, take his claims about “weapons of war.” Put aside that Walz never was in war, let alone carried a weapon in war. The term “assault weapon” is nonsensical. Even the Associated Press Stylebook, which carries water for Democrat narratives, recognizes that fact. As the AP acknowledges, the term conveys “little meaning” and is “highly politicized.”

Lott goes on to list items like CDC Research and Background Checks to show how these are myths. Let’s see how angry Tim Walz got last year in fear that the state legislators wouldn’t pass Background Checks and Red Flag Laws:

More like Joe Biden’s Angry Old Man Yelling at Clouds than a Manly Man. Manly Men doing Manly Things only unleash their cloaked violence when needed to protect their world. Just saying.

Last thoughts. Real Manly Men don’t terrify their fellow citizens. Not necessary. AND I don’t know anyone who owns guns. I have not met anyone in the last twenty years who ever owned guns. Maybe Tim Walz could take his terrifying manliness door to door looking for guns. Just saying.
