From The Guardian's Arwa Mahdawi, a rebuke of the moronic and misogynist MAGAt nickname referring to Gov. Walz's assistance to public school girls. Not the genius move these clowns think it is:
"Watch out world, Republicans are on the offensive. Still smarting from being called “weird”, it looks like a bunch of GOP strategists got in a room this week to workshop devastating nicknames for Kamala Harris and her running mate, Tim Walz. After combining their dozen or so braincells, they came up with a winner: Tampon Tim. The name has been trending on social media as people on the right desperately try to make #TamponTim stick.
Apart from the fact that it alliterates, what prompted this moniker? Well, in 2023 Walz signed a wide-ranging Minnesota education bill that, along with a number of other provisions, mandated public schools offer free menstruation products in their bathrooms.
To anyone with an ounce of common sense, this sounds like a great thing to do. Tampons are expensive! And 'period poverty' – the inability to afford menstruation supplies – is a serious problem in the US. [snip]
All of this to say: thanks for the nickname, guys! Rather than being the insult they think it is, Tampon Tim is a compliment. One that reinforces the fact that the GOP is suffering from a severe case of Toxic Schmuck Syndrome." (our emphasis)
Please read her full column for a fuller understanding of the Minnesota law and its positive impact on public school children.
The nickname reeks of what a group of middle school brats would come up with to bully a classmate, doesn't it? When the context is explained, the attack is sure to backfire on them bigly, as their other attacks on Walz have been. It's not surprising that the Malignant Loser's cult would find compassion and helping girls a laughable thing, since their view of women in general comports with views held in the 18th century or in Taliban-controlled Afghanistan.
