@synapsid funny thing with Tim Walz is that he was previously branded as a Democrat that could appeal to traditionally right leaning voters. In a way that was true, given he was a representative in a district that was one of the redder parts of Minnesota. Though that might also be due to a special brand of Minnesota voter stupidity.
But it seems that he either became more lefty or simply took the mask off once he became the governor. So he certainly now fits the "hicklib" mold. "See? He hunts!"
