Tim Walz is clearly a midwest ‘man’s man’. But he’s the antidote to toxic Maga masculinity

This community is first and foremost a feminist community for men and masc people, but it is also a place to talk about men’s issues with a particular focus on intersectionality.
Rules
Everybody is welcome, but this is primarily a space for men and masc people
Non-masculine perspectives are incredibly important in making sure that the lived experiences of others are present in discussions on masculinity, but please remember that this is a space to discuss issues pertaining to men and masc individuals. Be kind, open-minded, and take care that you aren't talking over men expressing their own lived experiences.
Be productive
Be proactive in forming a productive discussion. Constructive criticism of our community is fine, but if you mainly criticize feminism or other people's efforts to solve gender issues, your post/comment will be removed.
Keep the following guidelines in mind when posting:
- Build upon the OP
- Discuss concepts rather than semantics
- No low effort comments
- No personal attacks
Assume good faith
Do not call other submitters' personal experiences into question.
No bigotry
Slurs, hate speech, and negative stereotyping towards marginalized groups will not be tolerated.
No brigading
Do not participate if you have been linked to this discussion from elsewhere. Similarly, links to elsewhere on the threadiverse must promote constructive discussion of men’s issues.

It's speaking to where people are at - take that as you will.
There's a good reason so many are disgusted with the show. It's not where most are at.
Well. 'most' is a difficult denominator. What they were saying in that 4 day, 8-hours per day, multiple voices speaking (except a Palestinian voice, and I'm with you there) does seem to resonate with a whole lot of people. Now, is it most or not, I guess we'll just have to wait until November to see. Be some excitement in St. Petes too, no?
This is just a concerted media push and it's really, really obvious. Our media overlords decided we love Harris and Walz and...well just read any political philosophy book.
Our media overlords also decided that we loved Biden; until things got so bad that they had to admit that we just don't.
The fact that anyone believes they live in a democratic state is scary.
