The media keeps telling me Tim Walz is a 'likable man next door drink a beer with kind of fun' guy. I struggle to see it. Obviously, I'm not a Democrat and I don't agree with Walz about most anything, but I still don't see the 'nice guy' they are trying to pull off.
Tim Walz is NOT a nice guy. He's a disgusting, wannabe dictator. THIS is what he'll do to the entire country if given the chance. https://t.co/e9mxxrMWR9

He's also not a good leader. Today, I really decided he is an awful person.
Governor Tim Walz on JD Vance going to Yale University:

“None of my Hillbilly cousins went to Yale, or went on to become venture capitals, that’s not who people really are.”

As a descendant of actual 'hillbillies' this flew all over me.
This guy makes me so angry. My family are actual hillbillies. My Dad was born in Harlan County, Kentucky. He worked hard starting at 14 years old at Winn Dixie and worked his way up to making six figures at Hormel Foods where he worked for 37 years. My uncle also started at Winn… https://t.co/gOlR1JbgF7

It's like he believes poor people should stay in their poverty and never work to get out of their circumstances. That is the exact opposite of the American dream. Isn't the best part of America the opportunity to better yourself? Isn't the reason people cross rivers and deserts and stowaway in airplane wells to sneak into this country just that amazing opportunity?
“That’s not who people are” FFS. What a way to say “don’t dream big kids. That’s really not what happens.”

Exactly. Vance's accomplishments and those of your family should be celebrated! I despise him too. The American Dream is to have a successful and happy life. I am a hillbilly too from a backwoods holler in North Carolina. My family experience was a lot different from Vance's, but…

Thankfully, others share my Walz loathing. They also despise his belief that poor people must accept their place in life and never strive for anything different.

Walz’s statement epitomizes the crab bucket mentality that we rightly condemn in so many other cases.

Communists don’t believe that the proletariat should ever be able to improve themselves and should always remain downtrodden and exploitable by the Party elite.

Commies are going to commie.
My dad had 5 siblings, he was raised by a single dad as his mom died young. They shot groundhogs for dinner and caught fish out of creeks. They also had a garden and chickens. They were OHIO working poor. He died a millionaire. Screw Tim, he is an uppity @sshole.

This is the American dream and what Tim Walz should cheer.
Hubby was 1 of 9 kids of a MS delta sharecropper pretty equal to a hillbilly. Lived in a 3-bedrm shotgun house with no electricity or indoor plumbing until the ‘50s. All graduated high school, 2 college degrees, 1 Farmer of the Year, 1 married a famous entertainer, hubs USN E-8.

These are the kind of stories American leadership should extol. There are no boundaries to what any American can accomplish with hard work. Walz can take his classism and stick it.
