Emhoff’s speech is so gently goofy and normal that it will drive the Right absolutely berserk with rage. They have absolutely NOBODY normal. They hate normal like a cartoon supervillain does.
I guess what I like about Walz is that he gives the vibe of someone who could easily have gone down a different path and not been a politician. You know Vance is a throne-sniffer in every timeline.
Politics has always been elbow-throwing rough-and-tumble. But the last few elections, particularly this one, are very internet-poisoned. A lot of what the Right does now is basically shitposting and trolling. Never treat a troll as a good-faith interlocutor. Treat them like a troll — with scorn.
