Hey, Tampon? Tim?

Yeah, to me it reads like wee Kyle was just being polite and offering Tim Walz some of it's spare feminine hygiene products.

It's really sad to me that one of the most powerful tools in the republican campaign's arsenal is juvenile nicknames for their opponents. An actual Trump campaigning innovation: Lying Ted, crooked Hillary, sleepy Joe, etc. And it works. Like really, really well.

Turns out many voters are swayed by elementary school level debate tactics.

That makes sense though, given how many voters have an elementary school level maturity and education.

Any voter that stupid is no longer a voter, they are a drone. There's no choice in the vote, they are reacting to basic stimulus, like a pillbug avoiding light.

It seems like only one party wants and creates drones.

It's not sad. It's by design.

Same thing as "orange man bad". It takes away critical thinking and simplifies the issue for their little brain.
