Gus Walz broke the internet with his tearful love for his dad. Then the bullying began

You're telling me the gutter of humanity couldn't lift themselves out of the slime of division, hate, and bigotry to see a son who loves his father vibing and letting the love go in a great moment of high emotions?

Color me shocked. Fucking weirdos.

They think him crying for an extremely emotional event is beta yet this is alpha:

At least Gus was crying with happiness. Rittenhouse was crying in fear.

My god the media is rubbish, "Trump came under fire in 2015 after he appeared to mock a New York Times reporter with a disability". Like, are you kidding me? Are you fucking kidding me? Appeared my ass, he did mock a man with a disability, it isn't a debate, or a perception, or the appearance, he did that shit.

The summary doesn't even mention that the poor kid has a nonverbal learning disability, anxiety, and ADHD, and these clowns are mocking him.

How the fuck it's related to his disability or anything?

Imagine your father, like a not deadbeat one, a caring one, having his once-in-the-life moment at the state-wide convention. It's not weird to cry. It's weird not to.

Men do cry, men do have emotions, men aren't a fuel for a vehicle you hop on. And men are well capable of anger. The anger against a fucko who laughs at other man's kid.

Of course their reasons weren’t love…

Don't listen to the "we didn't know he had a disability" crowd. They knew what they were doing.

Give them a few terms in power and that kid advances from "having a disability" to "being euthanised for the good of the nation".

"Fellas, is it gay to be proud of your parents?"

Repubs are bullying this kid for being proud of his father because they've never experienced it themselves. In either direction. They are weak and pathetic losers.

I feel like that's not the win they think it is. A young man is passionate and loves his father dearly, and has been raised in a loving environment that allows him to express himself openly. The cum cups and diapers are fine, but genuine emotion?: "Weird."

I am not surprised that conservatives find open signs of affection, and the general feelings and expression of love between a child and father, to be "weird".

These comments come from people whose kids hate and/or resent them. Love, in general, is seen by them as weakness. These people need therapy, they are mentally ill.

A kid is incredibly proud of his dad and they mock him? The fuck is wrong with the world.

Tangential to the point, but any writer that unironicslly uses the phrase "broke the internet" in a headline needs to be sent to a gulag.

I love Anne Coulter tried to call him weird and then had to delete her Tweet because making fun of kids it's actually the weird thing.

But…. conservatives are the party of family values. /s.

Fuck anyone who even says anything about this kid.

I WISH my teenage kid loved me like that 🤣 These internet bitches are just jealous.

Adults bullying a teenager is cringe.

They are mentally stuck in middle school.

It's weird. It's pathetic.

Doesn’t matter if he was normative or not.

There’s no excuse for treating someone like shit for having real emotions that harmed absolutely nobody.

Conservatives bear their teeth at the sight of happiness. Happy people aren't subjugated, scared, and in line.

These people are the living embodiment of daddy issues.

I mean, Republicans are usually deep in the throes of toxic masculinity these days, so as shitty as it is that they’re responding this way, it’s not surprising.

Anyone who claims something broke the internet should be shot

They're so used to their own children either hating them or having complete indifference towards them that they think that's the norm.

They're psychologically abusing children from behind their keyboards and phones, for fucking nothing. Like, it does them no favours, but they just can't help themselves.

We should be compiling lists of such people and their bullying tweets, and sending them to anyone who advertises with them or employs them. This shit needs to stop.

What Ann said was not good.

They thought about making fun of duckworth for not having legs but then they realized she would kick their ass legs or not.

Oh hey look, the new ann coulter proposal video just droppe... And, he called it off.

Just think of the fucking human sludge it would take to propose to ann coulter in the first place, and then realize that those dudes STILL couldn't go through with it. They got one full whiff and said, "LOOK lady... I literally pay millions of dollars to hunt human children for fun in Luxembourg, I have a Michelin chef flown in to prepare their livers for me for dinner... but YOU are just a god damn irredeemable monster... I can't go through with this..."

It broke X, can't tell if on purpose or some weird algorithm thing. I clicked on trending topics and Hunter Biden was trending but only 1 in 3 of the tweets under that trending topic mentioned Hunter, and all of them were about Gus.

Then the same thing for Barron Trump, and Kyle Rittenhouse. A series of young men became trending topics but all of the tweets were about Gus. Just odd.

Obviously some of it was people comparing Gus to the other guys but a majority were just straight up about Gus and no one else.

Excellent. The press have a story they can jump up and down on for a day or two and leave Harris alone.

Excellent work, Gus. You did good a hundred different ways, sir.

Let them get all this alpha/beta male crap out if they want to. Nothing says "weird" better than applying to people what was initially intended (and is now widely rejected) as a description of social dynamics among canines.

Wow Republicans are weird. I was watching that and could only think what a beautiful moment it was. It was touching how incredibly proud Gus is of his dad, which suggests to me that they've probably got a pretty healthy family.

Be best

If bullying a kid is all they got, they don't got much.

The fucking hell is wrong with these people‽ Get that boy a hug from his dad, he seems like he’s had a ton but he could’ve used another. That’s a seriously loving father son relationship, one I think a lot of us people who had shitty dads see with a lot of respect.

Dad goal unlocked.

Instead republicans cry when the oligarchs take all their money via inflation and increased housing costs

All this culture nonsense is such a distraction

I'm a Republican trying to Protect The Children and I see NOTHING WRONG with Bullying a Nonverbal Child!

and added, “You raised your kid to be a puffy beta male. Congrats.”

I thought these were just characters in hollywood production. What the fuck.

Whenever I read the words "broke the Internet" I imagine this scene from The IT Crowd

Relevant Belle of the Fifth Column Video

Because that's how you win over moderates who actually possess empathy...

When are they going to realize their extreme base only represents a small minority of the country?

It's odd to place the emphasis on your crying male child and then be appalled there is an emphasis on your crying male child.

Left or Right, anyone who can cry on cue to a speech they've likely rehearsed a hundred times in their head, isn't worth paying attention to. Unpopular I know.

For example, I adore John Stewart and agree with almost everything he does, except when he made that emotional impassioned tearful speech a few years back, never once mucking his lines.

Its just a trust thing. Tears sway people, and if its in the moment and captured ad-hoc then I am likely moved, but if all lenses are on it and the speech sounds forced, I switch off.
