So, MAGA has seized on the segment of the debate with Tim Walz calling himself a ‘Knucklehead’, and really tried to drive home...something about it.
The part isn’t scanning to me is everyone I talked to about that line liked that line from him. They liked the humility, the fact that he admits being a political executive is a team effort. One person said it was refreshing to hear a politician be honest instead of posturing that they are, somehow, beyond human.
Meanwhile, MAGA exhorts their infallible God King, who can do no wrong and speaks only the truth, no matter how physically impossible or reality incongruent it is. if you dare question him, you will be threatened and beaten into silence. There is no room to doubt the unerring divinity made flesh that is this spray tanned messiah.
So, in one corner, we have a party made up of people willing to admit they are human, and on the other you have a party insisting they transcend the limits of mortal beings and are borderline divinity. Call me strange, but one of them sounds like they’re qualified to lead, and the other sounds like they really need some kind of mental health intervention.
