    I honestly had no idea he had a disability until he started being bullied for it. When I first saw the photo, I thought it was a natural human reaction. If my dad was accepting the VP nomination, I probably wouldn’t be able to stop crying either.

    These weirdos don’t understand what being human is.

      My dad won a local town council seat and I got a little choked up with pride. It’s a totally normal reaction for people who love their parents.

        Meanwhile, these are the same people who used to idolize this guy:

        Dude cried every other show.

      I agree. They’re so weird, conservatives. Like that’s what you have to complain about, a kid getting emotional?

        Getting emotional about literally his own father? Meanwhile you can take photos like this at any Trump event, except it’s some random Trump cultist who’s just happy to bathe in the orange aura.

      I had no idea who Tim Walz was before this. I’m over in the UK, so that’s no wonder, but it seems like many Americans didn’t know of him either. He seems like a pretty cool dude who was beloved locally, but not well known on the wider stage. Now people all across the US and the rest of the world are learning of him and are genuinely feeling a bit more hopeful about the US. You’re God damn right I’d be crying.

        It’s such a natural reaction that I legitimately worry about these people’s family lives.
