The unfounded attacks on Tim Walz, which are utterly deplorable given how tenuous the claimd are, are honestly no different from the way that the DNC smears progressives using the same cavalier social media tactics. Now anybody can be ended with a rumor or a half-truth, if it goes viral enough and if it is promulgated by enough blue checkmarks. (And there are many bad actors on all sides.) It's the Goebbels principle writ large.
