Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz reminds me a lot of Hillary Clinton. After the 2016 election, Clinton went on about how the election was stolen from her. She obsessed over Trump and her loss. Walz is very similar in that he can't seem to get past his own loss to Donald Trump. Almost every time I see his face on my screen, he's pulling a Hil-dawg.
You'd figure that might've stopped after the Minneapolis shooting from a gender-confused individual, but it didn't. He's still going on about Trump. It's the top thing on his mind.
Tim Walz fantasizes about what America would look like if Kamala won in 2024: “We wouldn’t wake up to a bunch of s*** on TV. We would wake up to an adult with compassion and dignity and vision and leadership doing the work.”

Trump. Trump. Trump.
I've written about the left's obsession with Trump and how it keeps them pinned to the ground on several occasions now. It's an obsession that has them choosing the 20 in every 80/20 issue. Their hyper-focus on the bad orange man literally has them supporting crime over law and order, illegal immigration, and all its fallout over secure borders and safer streets. When it comes time to unite and agree that an atrocity was committed, they don't want to agree. They want to point fingers at Trump, you, me, or even Christ.

Accountability isn't a Democrat character trait. Admitting they were wrong about something might get people thinking they might be wrong about other things, and that would cause a PR spiral they wouldn't be able to get out of.
Walz's recent comments about the "news" that Trump's death is "coming," fresh off the news about the shooting that happened in his state, is proof positive of what I'm talking about. As Nick Arama noted in her piece, Walz was on stage at a Union event on Labor Day, talking about the rumor going around about how Trump was actually dead, which is a weird thing for a man to do given what transpired under his watch.

It wasn't just a bad taste thing to do, nor did it make Walz look very mature. It also showed where his priorities are. The fact that many in the Democrat Party echo this sentiment shows the same. The rumor of Trump's death trended far and wide. Reddit was ablaze with posts, while X was filthy with pictures analyzing every detail of any image of Trump they could get.
The Democrats are wholly distracted by Trump, and I don't just mean Trump the man; I mean Trump the concept. Something they can't understand, and all their normal tricks and strategies can't overcome. Trump is just the representative and the name they give to something that has them perplexed, frustrated, and at worst, violent.
Walz's state was recently shaken to its core by what transpired during that Catholic school shooting, but Walz's focus has not deviated. In a way, this is a pattern for Democrats. Chicago is still a crime-infested city, and yet, Mayor Brandon Johnson and Illinois Governor JB Pritzker are so Trump-obsessed that they're ready to take the 20 position on illegal immigration in the city.
Look at it this way. Democrats are on a mountaintop that is currently collapsing around them. An avalanche is raining rocks and tree branches. People are buried under the debris and are dying left and right. However, despite the chaos, they can't stop looking with their binoculars at the stable mountain across from them, angry that more and more people prefer that one to theirs. They blame the man in charge of that mountain, who spends quite a bit of time securing it from things like avalanches and maintaining it, but only because they can't bring themselves to face the fact that this collapse was due to their own forced incompetence.
They attack Trump because they cannot internalize their own failings.
So Walz obsesses over Trump. Other Democrat leaders obsess over Trump. Leftists online obsess over Trump.
Trump. Trump. Trump.
But in reality, Trump is the least of their problems. Their biggest problem is themselves.
