The joyful Minnesota governor is a valuable spokesperson for Harris whose background and personality can help the Democratic ticket undermine Trumpās efforts to woo Americaās men.
Tim WalzāsĀ first official speechĀ on the Democratic ticket displayed all the reasons thatĀ Kamala HarrisĀ has been lauded for picking the Minnesota governor as her running mate. Personally, I think one outshines all the rest.
Walzās military background and his work as a high school teacher and football coach, along with his palpable joy andĀ open expressions of compassion for people in need, offer America a vision of what manhood can look like ā heās a ājoyful warriorā offering a vision in contrast with whatās being offered by Donald Trumpās bravado-driven campaign.
And heās clearly willing to challenge Team Trump on that front. He displayed that even before he received the call to join Harrisā campaign, using public appearances to refer to Trump and his allies asĀ ābulliesā who are truly weak at heartĀ and by mocking the GOP ticket for ārunning for He-Man Women Haters Club or something.ā
Even down to a caveman level, the role of a strong man was to be the protector of the tribe/family. Using your strength to protect others is what makes a strong man.
Inflicting your insecurities on others and feeding your ego by attacking vulnerable people are the actions of a bully, not a strong man.
Said so well!!
Coincidently the latter are the traits of a strongman though. So remember kids, be a strong man not a strongman.
I like that Spanish has the word caudillo, which approximately means strongman and is not easily confused with anything else. Itās almost always applied to Latin American leaders (like Maduro) but it seems like exactly what Trump aspires to be.
I thought strongman was about lifting, pulling, carrying or even throwing heavy things?
In case youāre not kidding itās a form of government exemplified by Putin, Maduro, Xi, and if he got the chance, Trump.
