Where has Tim Walz been all my political life. Fuck’s sake, it’s a low bar, but having a Dem on the national stage who isn’t afraid to get a little rough with these dipshits is immensely satisfying after some two decades of “W-we c-can’t say anything m-mean about the fascists…”
I have been calling for the left wing to do this in Australia for years.
We will not beat these weirdo dipshits by pretending they aren’t weirdo dipshits.
Calling them out with direct language at every opportunity is the path to victory.
Good luck to you and your compatriots. It hasn’t done much in the United States. Trump has been steadily gaining for over a month and now Kamala is sliding, so I’m not sure if calling them weird dipshits does much, but it does feel good.
Yes, always make fun of Elon Musk! Don’t forget we’re doing that because Elon is a fascist. It’s okay to skip around prance like a dipshit otherwise. Just don’t be a fascist.
Man I hope Walz and Kamala win in a few weeks, because I really want to be able to listen to this guy call out bullshit for 8 years.
My wife says he sounds like Red Foreman.
Related - anyone see that episode when Red Foreman yells at Ford for pardoning Nixon? LOLOLOL.

We could all use a lot more Red Foremans in the GOP…
Hahahaha. Oh my god, that’s so funny. I cannot unsee(unhear) this now…I need to find a supercut of him calling people a dumbass.
Believe it or not that’s also one of the bad outcomes.
Hello, Bad Take Inc.? Yeah one of your employees got internet access again
I believe that dipshit is the best insult. If you call someone a bitch or asshole, it’s like a badge of honor, but dipshit r is kind of emasculating and really captures the whiny middle schooler inside while also sounding like just a silly word.
He was a teacher for years, he’s seen first hand which insults play best in middle school, and obviously that’s what American politics has devolved to nowadays.
Twat
That doesn’t really play over here in the US
Cunt works fine though
Yeah, no. The broad American public wouldn’t like that. Right or wrong, lots of people hate that word even when directed at someone who is being one.
Some people get weirdly super pissed when you use that word. I have no idea why. I have seen multiple people freak the fuck out randomly whenever it’s been mentioned out loud. They won’t care about other cursewords, only “cunt” specifically, it’s very strange.
It baffled me for a while until I realized that some people take it as a reduction of them to that body part. Like “the only useful part of you is your cunt/dick”.
I always saw it as more of a metaphor, dicks fuck things up, assholes make things shitty, cunts are fucked (and each of those are metaphors since I don’t think there’s anything wrong with literally fucking or being fucked as long as everyone involved is good with it).
Though I still don’t understand why people give others the kind of power over them where they can upset them with their choice of words, before the meaning of their message even comes into play.
Here’s my read on it - looking up the definition of cunt, it’s “a woman’s genitals” so essentially you’re associating women’s genitalia with something negative, specifically an insult. It doesn’t necessarily make sense seeing as calling someone a dick is fine and isn’t seen as being so vulgar.
But people get called pussies all the time.
Most profanity isn’t used in the sense of the literal definition at all though
I’m not much of a troll these days, but I do enjoy when people will give my generally bad language on Masto a pass, but clutch their pearls when I call something or someone a cunt. Which I’m wont to do because I’m English.
Dross
I’m from the US. Plays great here.
Might be regional but, yeah, it’s in use.
Tim Walz said it so much better than this snippet suggests. Please listen to the short clip, that man is fire 👍
Just looked it up. Yeah Tim Walz speaks really effectively.
“like a dipSHYIT”
Spoken like a true Midwesterner who gave away his last fuck to give 40 years ago.
Finally, Democrats have someone who can talk to the “everyman” in their own language.
Trump supporters love him so much because “he tells it like it is”. I doubt they’re going to love Walz because of that same line of thinking. Oh that’s right, because he doesn’t have the R in front of his name. He’s also not a racist, which is probably why they really love Trump.
Walz tells it like it is, but unlike with Trump the way it is isn’t hating everyone who isn’t like them, so it’s not okay.
He’s also not a
racistrapistFunny how both words work in that context
I really hope “dipshit” is the new “weird” of this last stretch of the election.
Makes sense. They’re all weird-ass dipshits
Creepy dipshits it’s my preference, though the world creepy loses something during Halloween. Maybe dipshit creeps is better now.
I don’t get it.
There’s so many negative things you can say about Musk, yet you punch at his happy dance? This is low and pathetic.
Get fucked, dipshit.
If skip out of joy that fascists are clapping for you - literally get fucked.
“Happy dance” at other people’s expense.
at his happy dance?
You mean the idiotic cavorting of a dipshit who thinks he’s being handed the power to write regulations for his own companies and fuck over the workers who actually produce the value?
thinks he’s being handed the power to write regulations for his own companies
As soon as Kamala said in the debate that Trump can be entirely coerced with flattery and fawning, I picture Elon watching that and jumping up shouting EUREKA!
Yes, thats what we should talk about. Attack him for his abuse of power and workers. Not his dance.
My guy, that’s literally exactly what Walz says in his next sentence in the clip. We can and should make fun of both.
The second discredits you
if you don’t understand it, you’re not in a position to judge it.
Yeah, honestly it was cringy, but its also cringy make fun of people for being cringy
Nah. Fascists are fair game.
Nah, bullying is bullying, regardless of if I think someone is wrong, so wrong that their ideas are harmful to people.
Nailed it. Elon is a dipshit.
