The Idiocracy of Tim Walz
The self-described knucklehead doesn’t even know what a venture capitalist is:
“Sen. Vance became a media darling. He wrote a book about the place he grew up. But the premise was trashing that place he grew up rather than lifting it up,” Walz said on Tuesday of the Republican vice presidential hopeful, adding, “This guy is a venture capitalist cosplaying as a cowboy or something.”
“I don’t even know what a venture capitalist does most of the time!” he then yelled.
Social media reacted with quips and astonishment to Walz’s comments about the term “venture capitalist,” which regards one who invests in a startup business venture.
“Tampon Tim be like ‘vote for me. JD Vance is smart and I’m an idiot,’” a social media user reacted on X.
Walz is going for the Idiocracy vote. Maybe it’s a rather large bloc these days, alas.
[NOTE: If you’re unfamiliar with the movie Idiocracy, you might want to take a look. It’s transgressively, offensively funny.]
Wisdom 🙂 from Walz:
I read Hillbilly Elegy six years ago. I did not get the impression that Vance was “trashing that place he grew up.” Not at all. Mixed feelings, bittersweet, yes. But he fully viewed the place he grew up in as a part of him, the good and the bad. And he loved his mamaw.
From what I have read, Walz’s rural Nebraska relatives do not agree at all with his Wokeness/Minneapolis liberal viewpoints.
Vance’s political views are much more in agreement with the Ohio he grew up in, in contrast to Walz’s Wokeness/Minneapolis liberal viewpoints being 180 degrees from the political views of the rural Nebraska that Walz grew up in. Who is trashing whom?
I love the way that Vance deals with oppositional journalists or politicians. Vance needs neither prepared speech nor a teleprompter!
im amazed that someone as dainty with girlish mannerisms was selected as VP candidate.
Again, Walz and his wife have spent their adult worklife in the school apparat. All of his post-secondary schooling was in teacher-training (later administrator-training) programs. He was hired to teach high school ‘social studies’ without any subject degree. He’s an exemplar of what’s wrong with education.
Hurl it against the wall, whatever it is, and see if it sticks. Nothing to lose.
(I read much of Hillbilly Elegy a few years ago. Vance was *not* trashing his roots. Period. Just another slander, all in a day’s “work” for these [expletive]s.)
Harry Truman was an intelligent and rather well-read man, but he set a bad example for later politicians.
Well, the best thing for “us” is for Waltz to just keep talking, same as Harris.
BO is sticking his oar into the campaign again.
Is Bill still talking?
Wonder why Harris/Dems not asking Hillary to step up and campaign too?
