The Dems have finally learned to frame effectively

And just in time. Big Dad Energy. From this piece:

"The Strict Father family is hierarchical, with a strict father figure at the top deciding what is right and wrong in a dictatorial fashion. We see this type of authoritarian structure in the MAGA Republican Party, where Donald Trump is the strict father ruling over everyone else. In the Strict Father family, the leader's word is law, he is right even when he is wrong, and anyone who questions his authority or engages in disobedience must be harshly punished."

"But there’s another family metaphor in politics. It shows a progressive view of how family should work. And Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz expresses it perfectly. This opposing metaphor is that of the Nurturant Parent family. [...] The nurturant parent worldview is gender neutral. Both parents are equally responsible for raising the children. The assumption is that children are born good and can be made better. The world can be made a better place, and our job is to work on that. The parents’ job is to nurture their children and to raise their children to be nurturers of others."

"Walz wholly rejects strict father politics. He was a football coach, yes, but also a teacher. He and his wife, also a teacher, sponsored the high school’s student Gay-Straight Alliance. His care and empathy are also clearly revealed by the fact the he loves animals – he has both a dog and a cat. (Trump despises pets, and his VP nominee, J.D. Vance, has a weird obsession with insulting cat owners.)"
