When Gus jumped up out of his seat

[Grammy23]

And began clapping and cheering for his dad, it was hard not to get choked up. That young man was so proud and happy for his hero (his dad), he was about to burst. It is not often we get to see such raw, but genuine emotion for such a wonderful reason. Anyone mocking him or not seeing his true devotion to his father is sad, indeed.

Donald tRump would not get that kind of reaction from his children if he lived a thousand years. I hope the Harris-Walz team wins in a landslide and we all get a chance to know Gus and the whole family as they make their place in Washington. It’ll be a joy after all the years that were wasted on the tRumps.

1. I cry everytime I see it. Love you Gus!

[Think. Again.]

2. I don't have children...

...but I would bet everything that was one of Coach's proudest moments to see his son so proud of HIM.

No father could ask for anything more than that.

[LiberalFighter]

6. I think the relationship between the two is strong.

And helps make life better for Gus.

[Solly Mack]

3. My throat constricted and the tears welled. It was so moving. The pure love he has for his father on display.

Incredible moment.

4. Someone should make a meme of

Gus jumping up out of his seat with happiness and caption it "This is family values, J.D."

[SWBTATTReg]

5. That kid (Gus) was definitely one of the coolest moments in both conventions, far more than what the

POS repugs put out there.

The happiness, being proud of his dad, the whole works, you can't script that.

7. When that kid jumped out of his chair

the whole world saw exactly what kind of man Tim Walz is. That moment could never have been scripted, just like pure love can’t be bought.

And the maggots hated every second of it.

Because they can’t compete.

Fuck them.

8. My son has ADHD and will act very emotional at times (like me).

He has always had a big heart and yes at times did things that were perceived by others as over the top. I love him so much and love who he is. He is now a pilot, software developer, and a big-time democratic supporter. At 21 my son is doing pretty darn good. The reaction Gus had to his father hit me hard. The evil being spewed is just a cancer on our society.

9. Being a cynical old cuss, I'm slow to choke up but Gus made it happen.

MAGAts attacking him only prove what low-life, scum-sucking, creepy weirdos they really are.

[erronis]

10. Trump would get that reaction from his kids when he finally stopped twitching

Of course they'd all be fighting over his non-existent fortune. And probably end up being liable for the sins of their father.

[Emrys]

11. It's not as if Gus Walz was reacting in isolation

The crowd's been pretty damn excitable during the whole convention, and not least during Tim Walz's barnburner!

[Blue Owl]

12. What a great kid -- he looked sharp all dressed up in that suit

I feel his pride and if that were my dad up there -- I would feel the same way!!!

[GopherGal]

18. You know the "find someone who looks at you like..." mene?

I think it's now "Do something that makes someone this proud of you" accompanying the video of Gus.

[Gore1FL]

13. It made me cry when it happened.

"That's My Dad!" needs to be a bumper sticker, button, etc.

[rubbersole]

21. The best moment of the convention.

[calimary]

14. Just wall-to-wall JOY!

From Gus onward, all over that big packed hall!

JOY IS the Word!!!

[MLAA]

15. Walz to Walz joy!

[wordstroken]

27. Great play on words!

Love it!

[Evolve Dammit]

17. Well said!

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

19. Yet RWers are spewing hate on Gus,

saying the most shockingly vile things on social media. The gist being that disgusting, embarrassingly "pussy" behavior like this by men & boys is ruining this country.

I actually, stupidly, got into it with one of them. His replies to me & others disagreeing with him were some of the nastiest, most immature BS ever.

Typical. Their belief seems to be that being a strong man means being a total fucking asshole at all times.

No wonder they love Dolt45.

22. post a picture of justice beer bong

stunted, small, and weird is all they are

[Demobrat]

25. And then they blame women

for the fact that they are incels.

[calimary]

28. Well, just imagine how this little pretend big shot will feel

when the Harris/Walz team wins in November.

And you’ll have a double win to celebrate!!!

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

29. Yes! Also, I finally blocked him, but I might

unblock him just so I can call him a "little pretend big shot"! 😂

[bahboo]

20. Love that kid...

[patphil]

23. I think the Trump family is unable to express true, honest emotions. Tears are certainly beyond them.

Their whole lives are built around being fakes.

24. ""

psst , jim kirk , can you pass me a box of tissue . now u got me crying again.

[brewens]

26. Before it's all said and done, we might owe that kid a statue or national park or something. That was huge. Partly

because it exposed more of how deplorable MAGAts really are. If it's a close election, or even if it's not and we gain the House too, he might have made the difference.
