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

The rest of her tweets explains why they are crying "DANGER"

He put tampons in men’s bathrooms! He’ll trans kids. He took away parental rights. He’s woke & creepy.

So linking basic caring for children with the typical "groomer" bullshit.

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.
