I thought this was an interesting article. Tim Walz is the man your moderate or conservative father was before Trump's cult-like conspiracy theories got ahold of him:

For Some Women, Tim Walz Is the Dad That Fox News Stole From Them

Among the clamor of excitement surrounding Kamala Harris' vice presidential pick, Tim Walz, is a group of people decidedly more sentimental about the decision. They aren't upset that she chose the Minnesotan Governor ... it's just the opposite. For a handful of folks (so far, mainly white, millennial-aged women) Walz is more than an affable and plain-spoken Midwestern governor--he's a stand-in for the dads they've lost to the increasingly radical right.

"A lot of us [liberal women] had moderate to conservative, educated, sensible fathers that we lost to Rush Limbaugh ... to Fox News ... to Donald Trump," TikTok user Pamela Wurst Vetrini says in a video that's amassed over 2.3 million views in just 24 hours. Her video also amassed thousands of comments from people sharing their experiences of "losing" their dads to fringe beliefs, with one commenter joking that they'll all be "trauma voting" for Harris and Walz this November.

"I'm calling us alt-right orphan Annies," Vetrini tells Jezebel over a phone call on Wednesday. A majority of the commenters are "millennial women who lost touch with their father like me" Vetrini says, but noted, "a lot of men were relating to the same situation." Some commenters also mentioned divorcing their husbands or losing their moms over similar tensions.

So true (from the above article):

"I would love to be neighbors with Tim Walz, to chat with him on the sidewalk," Vetrini said. "I do not want to ever run into Donald Trump in real life."
