Tim Walz is the dad that we lost

So Tim Walz was selected as the VP pick, and I've been predicting this for weeks, but let me tell you why it's making me really emotional. After getting to know Tim Walz for the last few weeks, I have realized something and it's very profound. He represents the dad that a lot of liberal women lost. A lot of us had moderate to conservative, educated, sensible fathers that we lost to Rush Limbaugh, that we lost to Fox News, that we lost to Donald And the cult of conservatism that has grown and grown and grown has driven a wedge between millennial women and her father. My father's the type of man that will put Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders on the TV, but will never allow a woman in power to be on the television. My father will never, ever vote for a female president. All those times I make TikToks speaking out about anti-racism, the Beaufort Bonnet Company, the Old South Party, Bama Rush, the weird vibes I got at the Savannah Bananas game. I get thousands and thousands and thousands of comments about how being a liberal white woman is the worst thing that someone can be, how I'm a disgusting, ugly Karen, and every now and then I'll get a comment from someone that said, I bet your dad doesn't even love you. And even though I know my dad loves me in his only way that he can, I know that my dad feels the exact same way as all those other weird men in my comments. And seeing Tim Walz, seeing that he was an educated conservative that saw the party getting weird and changed his mind, shifted his mindset, and now he's this altruistic character who does the slingshot with his daughter at the fair. He's just chill and normal and kind and sensible. He has empathy. He represents all of those qualities that were stripped away from my normal father by this cult. And it makes me sad to see him because I think what kind of person would my dad have been if he didn't fall victim to this nightmare?
