Turns Out Walz Lied?

Its a satirical story about Tim Walz lying by u/MilitantAmbivalence on r/minnesota.
I always considered myself to be decently informed when it comes to politics and current events, but I saw a few unflattering caricatures of Governor Walz last week at the State Fair that really had a profound effect on me and forced me to reconsider my entire worldview.
Did anyone else see the booth with the Governor Walz cartoons? I used to like the guy, but that was before I saw a drawing where they made him look like an ugly pig making a dumb face! Now I’m all like “Shut up, Pigface!” 😝
There was also a cartoon where Walz looked like the puppet from Pinocchio, and his nose was very big! If you are familiar with the story of Pinocchio, then you know what that means… 😉
There’s a famous basilica in Barcelona called La Sagrada Familia where some atheists report being so awestruck by the sheer beauty and brilliance of the architecture that they open their hearts to the possibility of a God for the first time in their lives.
I found myself similarly transformed by the Walz Lied booth. If there’s no substance behind the knee-jerk dipshit alt-right ideology, how can it possibly produce artwork so complex, deep, and profoundly moving?
Being suddenly forced to confront the reality that my entire life had been a lie was both terrifying and freeing. Tears streamed down my cheeks and I dropped to my knees as the fairgrounds began to spin around me.
When I woke up, two of the guys from the booth were giving me first aid. One of them was gently waving a ‘Walz Lied’ fan over my forehead. The other offered me a sip from a water bottle labeled ‘Liberal Tears’.
They were asking me questions. Did I know today’s date? Did I know where I was? I wanted to answer, but the words wouldn’t come out.
Finally, one of them asked, “Who’s the current Governor?”
I could feel my strength coming back.
“Tampon Tim,” I whispered meekly.
The men looked relieved. “Don’t worry,” one of them told me. “I think you’re going to be OK.”
