today’s example of why modern Conservatives are weird people

“Tampon Tim is hands down the best political nickname ever,” tweeted conservative commentator Liz Wheeler. “It’s so… savagely effective. In one word tells you EVERYTHING you need to know about Tim Walz’s dangerous radicalism.”

The moniker refers to a law that Walz, the governor of Minnesota, signed last year, requiring public schools to provide menstrual products — including pads and tampons — to students in 4th through 12th grades.

Tim Walz’s dangerous radical agenda of…providing menstrual products to adolescent kids that might need them? lolol

        Memes have been working better than reality, for thousands of years at this point.

        The popularization of democracy, and the multiple orders of magnitude faster and wider communication methods, have only made it more obvious.
