Things the Right Wants Us to Be Angry about

 

Tim Walz 

  • Passed legislation providing free meals to kids at public schools
  • Passed legislation providing menstrual supplies to kids in public schools in the 4th through the 12th grade (they're spinning this as "gives tampons to boys," but nothing in the legislation mentions gender or specific sorts of menstrual supplies)
  • Protected the right to an abortion and made Minnesota a sanctuary state for people seeking abortions
  • Also made Minnesota a sanctuary state for trans people
  • Adopted "clean car" regulations, in order to reduce Greenhouse gasses. 
  • Passed legislation restoring voting rights to felons
  • Retired from the National Guard in order to run for office a couple years before his unit deployed to Iraq (the war the Right now claims it was always against)
He also got a DUI several decades ago, after which he quit drinking entirely, and still doesn't drink. The outrage on this one amuses me especially since I can remember "conservatives" saying it didn't matter if Trump sexually assaulted people when he was in his sixties, since he was seventy now, and after all people can change, can't they?

They also want us to be mad at Kamala Harris because she laughs too much.

This is some real desperation, y'all. I gotta admit, it's making laugh, probably too much.
