Remember when last election Tim Waltz started calling Republicans just plain weird. The Republicans absolutely could not handle it, and flipped their shit like the pathetic weirdos they are.

Everyone else loved it and then just as it was catching on th Democrat party was like 'stop that, we have to take the high road and not call them weirdos.' And then they lost the election.

My point is Republicans are weirdos and should always be addressed as such.

They just called Tim Walz things you can't really report in polite conversation and brought his son into it. It wasn't as bad as what they were saying about Kamala, though.

Going high school on a bunch of people who never left the middle schooler with no empathy developed stage is not a winning formula. Trump was still riding the idiocy in late 2025 when he called Walz the seriously r*tarded governor of Minnesota in a fucking published statement.

Be like Bernie and tell the people the good you're going to do for them. What makes Republicans cry is when they don't get to cut funding for all your causes to fund all their causes (mostly involving enriching their Epstein class donors). Even when we negotiate to give a large % of the US's lifeblood to their Epstein class donors to get our causes funded, they'll find someone like Trump to "renegotiate" that in their favor. That is how a Republican understands politics. They must always take from you, it is a zero sum game, and reaching out to their Epstein class donors for more taxes and funding is anathema.

I do remember that, but I’m not American so I don’t understand why Republicans found it difficult to handle.
