Pretty much immediately after Vice President Kamala Harris announced that Minnesota Governor Tim Walz would be her running mate, the memes started flowing like the Mississippi after a snowy winter in Lake Itaska. With his midwestern accent, unvarnished earnestness, and willingness to unleash Minnesota's most devastating insult ("weird") on political opponents, he reminded a lot of people—including me—of their kindly, helpful midwestern dad. Or uncle. Or grandfather. Or the kindly, helpful midwestern dad, uncle, or grandpa that they wish they'd had. |
