The photo of Walz in the thumbnail just made me realize that he is the antithesis of Trump physically.
He has very pale skin (not trying to hide it with a shit load of orange toner).
He’s proudly bald (not trying to hide that with a ridiculously elaborate comb-over).
He’s a very cheerful and open person (not hiding behind a manufactured aura of authority).
Yes, he’s significantly younger than Trump. But my point is that Walz is leaning into his image. He’s clearly comfortable in his own skin (as the saying goes). And he doesn’t need to try to exude authority or demand respect because he exhibits and gets those through his attitude and his actions.
It’s refreshing. In an era where appearance is everything and there’s so much posturing and focus on looks and stage demeanor, his candidness and positivity is naturally infectious.
Harris also seems content in her own skin. And it’s tougher for her because of the stereotypes associated with her gender. But she juggles those expectations while not fixating on it.
