    I really like Walz and hate Rittenhouse but this is not a death threat in any way. Plus Walz is a hunter and owns guns.

    Why is he tampon Tim to these troglodytes? Also, why are we pretending conservatives have to obey the same laws as the rest of us? It’s crystal clear they don’t.

      Because, as governor, he pushed for and then signed into law a bill that requires schools to stock menstrual products in all bathrooms used by people who menstruate

        The law doesn’t even state they have to be in the men’s bathrooms, only that they have to be available to the students. The people whining about the tampon thing, don’t even realize that most the schools in MN don’t have tampons in the men’s room.

      “Come and take it” is a pretty standard gun nut refrain. So he did actually use that hashtag correctly.

    So they call him Tampon Tim for having provided sanitary products? Do they think this is somehow insulting or belittling? I’d call myself that and act like it’s my superhero name any day. WTF kind of mindset are these people in?

      i have been told that they are also available in the boys bathroom. Having feminine products placed the boys bathroom confuses / emasculates them.

      The same group that removes their children from what limited sex education. Same guys that don’t wipe their ass because it is too gay

        I can understand how that would be confusing to someone, but access to a place where you can change a child’s diaper, or get a necessary product for your daughter, should not be exclusive to places that are designated for women. Every conservative father should be able to relate to that. But I obviously am unable to relate myself.

          I would imagine a conservative man does not deal with dirty diapers in public, possibly not in private either. The child would remain with the mother until toilet trained.

          The general theme of the conservative meta is not understanding that others have needs different than their own.

          That’s not the conversation, as I’ve heard it. The real rub is tampons in the boy’s bathrooms, in schools, for 4th graders through high schoolers. Not involving diaper change stations or grabbing necessary product for daughters.

        The relevant text of the law is

        The products must be available to all menstruating students in restrooms regularly used by students in grades 4 to 12 according to a plan developed by the school district.

        so, I think “boys bathroom” only in the case where a school has trans-boy without puberty blockers or hormone therapy. Clearly a very edge case, but right-wing propaganda depends on blowing up rare events or special circumstances, pretending they’re happening everywhere, all the time, and therefore an immediate threat to the way their audience has always done things.

          I think I can understand how it would be confusing to someone to have female sanitary products in a male bathroom at a school. I can understand that these people feel like this is part of what influences youth to develop a certain way, and they want to prevent this development at all costs.

          But it is really hard to stomach that there are people who think the existence of a tampon in someone’s surrounding makes them question their gender, and removing the tampon restores order somehow.

            I know if I were a kid, I’d just be confused but that’s about it. I mean, worst case scenario this is just an excuse for schools to double up on tampons and have more supplies for female students, a demographic that often has its needs ignored.

          Remember when they were trying to say there was kitty litter boxes for the “Furry kids who identified as cats”

          It was only in schools in one specific area, and in order to have a way for students to shit during a school shooting because they were THAT common

        Absolutely, just own up to it. Have the interviewers ask him why that’s become his nickname, he can share some background, maybe some anecdotes if he has any. Suddenly, Tampon Tim is a badge of honor.

      They never progressed or have regressed to a middle school mentality. Literally an insult a kid who just learned about and is skeeved by menstruation would use.

      It can be two things. Most people citing molon labe online like this have a desire to use their guns in self-righteous justification. This guy already has, got away with it, and was celebrated by terrible people. He also got on the outs with the same crowd that loved him by saying he wouldn’t vote for Trump over his gun rights record(then quickly tried to take it back when Maga went against him).

      He wants his adoring fans back, perhaps not realizing they didn’t like him, they just like that he got away with fulfilling a fantasy many of them have: killing people they hate.

      It’s really sad to me that one of the most powerful tools in the republican campaign’s arsenal is juvenile nicknames for their opponents. An actual Trump campaigning innovation: Lying Ted, crooked Hillary, sleepy Joe, etc. And it works. Like really, really well.

      Turns out many voters are swayed by elementary school level debate tactics.

          Any voter that stupid is no longer a voter, they are a drone. There’s no choice in the vote, they are reacting to basic stimulus, like a pillbug avoiding light.

          It seems like only one party wants and creates drones.

        It’s not sad. It’s by design.

        Same thing as “orange man bad”. It takes away critical thinking and simplifies the issue for their little brain.
