Tampon Tim the VP pick…The Trolls arrive…Poll masking…

Vice President Harris chose Tim Walz, the Governor of Minnesota to be her Vice President on the Democratic ticket. Among other things that drove the right nuts was his one word takedown of Trump. Weird. Republicans are weird. It stuck. Threads with the hashtag grew and took roots like poisonous weeds.

I personally love weirdos and I’m pretty sure, based on life experience I fall into that category. It’s nothing to be ashamed of. Some of the weirdest people I’ve ever met are the most interesting. In fact, I wouldn’t have had the idea for this series if things weren’t so fucking weird. What’s weird is the right’s reaction to it. It’s like they were the head cheerleader in high school walking down the hall and the girl who plucks and eats her eyelashes called her weird.

What???!! How dare anybody call me weird. I’m not weird, you’re weird.
Nobody’s ever called me weird before. Nobody!

The Trolls are busy at work digging up dirt. They found it in the hashtag…
