"While I understand and agree with those who say that no child should be mocked for being proud of their dad, I also think that Gus Walz’s neurodivergence does matter here. Republican partisanship, hate, and misogyny in this instance were also linked to, and I think triggered by, ableism."

Gus Walz Was Bullied at the DNC Because He’s Neurodivergent
Republicans are horrible…and neurodivergent people are often targets.Noah Berlatsky (Everything Is Horrible)
"To no one’s surprise, many on the right, who have lost the ability to recognize or feel this kind of love and devotion, took immediately to mocking this family, and Gus Walz in particular. …
The Blaze, a conservative rag, apparently deleted its tweet, as did Crispi and Coulter, after receiving widespread criticism and seeing the hate pile up in the comments. But they showed us who they are."

Day 3 of the Democratic National Convention packed a wallop.Jay Kuo (The Status Kuo)
I'd say this behavior doesn't so much give us a troubling glimpse into the state of political discourse, as into the who these folks are: they're truly bottom-of-the-barrel human beings.
And if we let them game the political system and impose their cruel minoritarian views on the rest of us, then God help us — and shame on us.

She writes,
"The contrast between Gus Walz’s sincere emotion and the derision it provoked from the right offers a troubling glimpse into the state of political discourse and the depths to which partisan attacks have sunk. This not only highlights the lack of basic human decency in certain right-wing corners of our politics but also raises important questions about how conservatives view emotional expression, particularly from young men, in the public sphere."
I don't want to publicize these cruel low-life human beings. But, at the same time, we need to know they're out there, and we need to expose the cynical hollowness of their claims that they stand for "God" and "family values" and "morality."
As Parker Molloy says, Trump supporters are now openly mocking Tim Walz's neurodivergent son Gus Walz and his touching display of pride and love at last night's DNC.

Right-Wing Cruelty Targets Tim Walz's Son Gus After Heartwarming DNC Moment
Right-wing figures mock neurodivergent teen for showing emotion at DNC.Parker Molloy (The Present Age)
For understandable reasons — you cannot fake this kind of adolescent emotional response to a parent who is loved and admired — this moment of Tim Walz's son Gus Walz saying "That's my dad!" as he points with pride to his father on stage at the DNC has taken social media by storm today.
