The campaign for the presidency overflowed for months with dark ruminations about the furies to be unleashed should the other side win: World War III, another Great Depression and even the possible ascent of a dictator. Into this season of gloom, enters a onetime high school teacher, football coach and corn dog lover, who has introduced a revolutionary alternative — joy.
“Thank you for bringing back the joy,” Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz said to Vice President Kamala Harris, as the two made their first appearance this week as the new Democratic ticket for the White House.
If he won his role as Harris’ No. 2 in part because of his unique framing of former President Trump and Ohio Sen. JD Vance as “weird,” Walz extended his meme-making role by bringing a decidedly lighter tone to the presidential race.
“All the things that make me mad about those other guys and all the things they do wrong, the one thing I will not forgive them for is they tried to steal the joy from this country,” said Walz, 60, at a Detroit rally Wednesday. “But you know what? ... Our next president brings the joy! She emanates the joy!”
The unexpected turn has delighted Democrats and infuriated Republicans. Democrats have seen fundraising surge and poll results tick upward since July 21, when President Biden gave up his bid for a second term and Harris stepped forward. The trend has continued since Tuesday, when she named Walz as her vice presidential pick.

The Democrat base are parentless psychos. They actually worship the moronic Kamala and Putz as mother and father figures. We’re so screwed.
I can’t afford “Joy” anymore
Like those who worshiped Mao and Stalin and the Kims
Dem voters are the Cargo Cult.
Trump voters: Hope, optimism, neighborly and joyful.
My how the commen sense rights the table.,
Nice try projectionists but we see through you now. We will not surrender anything to you, anymore. Including psyops.
LOL! Sorry... I was just trying to share the "Joy".
Almost 2/3 of females are voting for Kamala.
It’s an emotional appeal to her female voters.
Women, as a group, are more swayed by emotion.
