…Walz knows how to be non-threatening to whiteness. He just won’t set off white alarm bells. Just won’t. Even more: I’d say his presence is actively •calming• to white fragility.
I grudgingly admit it’s a politically useful tool. I do think the Walz White Calming Field helped shield our Black AG Keith Ellison, for example, who singlehandedly rescued the botched prosecution of Derek Chauvin. That could be an asset to counterbalance the misogynoir backlash against Harris.
