The Republican response to Gus Walz was embarrassing. Gus Walz had an emotional reaction to seeing his father on stage, and got up and said, "that's my father," while he was speaking. Gus is a person with a non-verbal learning disorder. I worked in special education and social work, and I'd never heard that one before, but found it on the internet. It's similar but different than autism.
A radio host from Wisconsin Jay Weber apologizes for his negative comments. I think radio hosts are prone to say outrageous things to attract attention, and lose their sense of propriety. He used to be a school teacher and ought to know better. But it's almost like the right wing thinks doing something stupid then apologizing is worth the attention it all gets. He has a history of bad tweets.
He has attacked other president's children in the past.
Ann Coulter is a 61 year old right wing journalists, writer and commentator who has been engaged 3 times, but all 3 times the wedding was called off. She has no children and might be a childless cat lady. She took down her tweet that said Gus Walz wasn't normal. She has a law degree and in her non-apology blamed the left for calling everyone weird.
Add Mike Crispi and Alec Lace to those who should be disgraced by their behavior (Source).
“ Just a friendly reminder that Gus Walz didn’t get emotional “because he’s neurodiverse” He got emotional because his parents didn’t force him to experience toxic masculinity.” (Source)
People Magazine of all people shares the outrage at such a public relations disaster. I don't think they really understand how to express their dislike because of political bias.
I found this expression of distaste for this lack of awareness gratifying.
Conservatism is a valid political perspective, to not change things much, to want less government, want to lower taxes. But zealotry of some of the people, well it's beyond, and there are carnival barkers like Bobert and MTG, who really go all out to try and distract in culture wars. I keep telling myself to keep it walking, keep it walking, but I find myself drawn into commenting. I need more discipline.
The zealotry and passion is what each party want, really they want enough energy for you to get off the couch and vote. That's the important thing. You can have all the political ideas you want, but voting is quite crucial, and I could imagine some in NY think that Harris will win anyway, why bother, but you do actually have to get out and vote. My conservative leaning friend doesn't vote often, and that's OK with me, but I really want all people to vote, even my conservative friends.
