    Where has Tim Walz been all my political life. Fuck’s sake, it’s a low bar, but having a Dem on the national stage who isn’t afraid to get a little rough with these dipshits is immensely satisfying after some two decades of “W-we c-can’t say anything m-mean about the fascists…”

      I have been calling for the left wing to do this in Australia for years.

      We will not beat these weirdo dipshits by pretending they aren’t weirdo dipshits.

      Calling them out with direct language at every opportunity is the path to victory.

    Yes, always make fun of Elon Musk! Don’t forget we’re doing that because Elon is a fascist. It’s okay to skip around prance like a dipshit otherwise. Just don’t be a fascist.

    I don’t get it.

    There’s so many negative things you can say about Musk, yet you punch at his happy dance? This is low and pathetic.

      at his happy dance?

      You mean the idiotic cavorting of a dipshit who thinks he’s being handed the power to write regulations for his own companies and fuck over the workers who actually produce the value?

    Man I hope Walz and Kamala win in a few weeks, because I really want to be able to listen to this guy call out bullshit for 8 years.

    I believe that dipshit is the best insult. If you call someone a bitch or asshole, it’s like a badge of honor, but dipshit r is kind of emasculating and really captures the whiny middle schooler inside while also sounding like just a silly word.

      He was a teacher for years, he’s seen first hand which insults play best in middle school, and obviously that’s what American politics has devolved to nowadays.

        That doesn’t really play over here in the US

            Yeah, no. The broad American public wouldn’t like that. Right or wrong, lots of people hate that word even when directed at someone who is being one.

            Some people get weirdly super pissed when you use that word. I have no idea why. I have seen multiple people freak the fuck out randomly whenever it’s been mentioned out loud. They won’t care about other cursewords, only “cunt” specifically, it’s very strange.

              Here’s my read on it - looking up the definition of cunt, it’s “a woman’s genitals” so essentially you’re associating women’s genitalia with something negative, specifically an insult. It doesn’t necessarily make sense seeing as calling someone a dick is fine and isn’t seen as being so vulgar.

                Most profanity isn’t used in the sense of the literal definition at all though

              I’m not much of a troll these days, but I do enjoy when people will give my generally bad language on Masto a pass, but clutch their pearls when I call something or someone a cunt. Which I’m wont to do because I’m English.

    Tim Walz said it so much better than this snippet suggests. Please listen to the short clip, that man is fire 👍

      Trump supporters love him so much because “he tells it like it is”. I doubt they’re going to love Walz because of that same line of thinking. Oh that’s right, because he doesn’t have the R in front of his name. He’s also not a racist, which is probably why they really love Trump.
